Home Details for 40 W SCHILLER Street 2C

Set within a storied 1920s courtyard building by noted Chicago architect Andrew Rebori, this residence reflects a thoughtful dialogue between preservation and reinvention; and has been quietly recognized for its design pedigree, having been featured in Architectural Digest. Original marble floors and intricately detailed leaded glass windows anchor the home in its architectural lineage, while a comprehensive restoration by Kara Mann introduces a refined, modern sensibility. A gracious foyer sets the tone, unfolding into a dramatic two-story living room with an ornate wood-burning fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and a striking staircase with balcony above. This duplex-up layout offers a sense of volume and separation rarely found, with hardwood floors lending warmth and authenticity throughout. Adjacent living spaces flow effortlessly between a refined dining area and an inviting family room-each thoughtfully proportioned for both everyday living and entertaining, with an emphasis on light, scale, and quiet elegance. The renovated kitchen is quietly commanding-tailored millwork by Christopher Peacock, paired with a sculptural Aga range that reads as both functional and iconic. A eat-in area adds a layer of casual ease, while fully integrated appliances from Miele and Sub-Zero are seamlessly incorporated, allowing craftsmanship and proportion to take precedence. Upstairs, two well-appointed bedrooms offer a sense of retreat. The primary suite is complemented by a curated bath featuring a bespoke Urban Archaeology vanity, a stone and brass medicine cabinet, and fixtures by P.E. Guerin and Barber Wilsons-each element chosen for its enduring craftsmanship. A thoughtfully designed powder room on the main level showcases rare, out-of-print Hermes wallpaper, a mosaic floor from Waterworks, and fittings by Lefroy Brooks, layering texture and heritage with a distinctly collected sensibility. Throughout, the home embodies a careful balance where every element feels considered, collected, and perfectly curated. Residents enjoy a beautifully landscaped garden courtyard with fountain, offering a quiet, European-inspired escape. In-unit Washer/Dryer and one storage unit included. Co-op building where assessment includes taxes. Garage rental available nearby for $364/month.
