Discover the unparalleled elegance and architectural ingenuity of HGTV’s Alison Victoria’s transformation of a historic bowtruss building into a Parisian-inspired live-work sanctuary. Nestled in Logan Square West, its discreet facade belies the opulent 7,000 square feet of living space within.  

Enter through a dedicated work haven, with a functional home office, plus its own bedroom and full bathroom, offering a seamless blend of work, comfort, and versatility. Step through antique French doors, you enter the residential part of the home, a space where grandeur and comfort converge.  

The open-layout dining area is first with soaring 20-foot ceilings and sleek floor-to-ceiling onyx cabinetry. Off the dining area lies the kitchen, a testament to culinary luxury with earthy built-in cabinetry and floating shelves that echo the elegance of the Calcutta turquoise marble waterfall island. You’ll adore the fully custom marble sink and oversized marble-lined cabinet niche. The kitchen is equipped with top-quality appliances, including Thermador MicroDrawer® Oven, two full-size wine fridges, and a Dacor wine dispensing unit. A Miele espresso machine adds a touch of barista-grade luxury, while the 60-inch double range by Blue Star, coupled with separate full-size refrigerator and freezer columns with a matching Blue Star dishwasher, completes this culinary haven.  

Also on the main level, you’ll find a cozy theater room designed for comfort and entertainment with plush carpeting and a built-in candy bar and mini fridge. An incredible custom-crafted bar seamlessly connects to the tranquil living area, creating the ideal venue for social gatherings. Positioned perfectly between the kitchen and living space, it ensures effortless entertaining. This bar stands out with its distinctive character, featuring a restored arched recess from a historic Chicago library, complemented by honey-toned wood shelves and mirrored backs that cultivate an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication.  

At the core of the home, discover a delightful courtyard atrium, featuring heated marble floors, an expansive 80-foot skylight, and supplemental pyramid skylights, creating an extraordinary indoor-outdoor ambiance unique to Chicago. Dominated by a ‘spool’—a combined spa and pool—and encircled by faux olive trees and Parisian furnishings, the atrium offers a captivating old-world European allure. Off the courtyard is a well-equipped workout room with rubber flooring, mirrored walls and an infrared sauna, along with two separate heated 2-car garages. 

Crowning the main floor’s luxurious offerings is the primary suite, embodying understated elegance and allure. A cozy stone fireplace, framed by built-in recesses, anchors the space. Beautifully restored stained glass doors open into the atrium directly, inviting the leisurely charm of a serene, holiday-like retreat right within the room. The en-suite bathroom is expansive, featuring a spacious wet room with a natural stone accent wall, waterproof plaster, and herringbone tile heated floors. Adding a modern flair to the space, a wood-fronted vanity is adorned with a thick marble top and an under-mount sink, complemented by luxurious finishes and warm metal accents. Two custom walk-in closets complete the ensemble, with one thoughtfully equipped with an LG ThinQ washer & dryer for added convenience. Ascending to the second level, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, each generously sized and bathed in natural light, providing ample closet storage. These bedrooms share a stunning bathroom featuring floor-to-ceiling tiling and a marble vanity. Completing the floor is a traditional linen closet, along with an additional storage closet already set up for a secondary washer and dryer if desired. 

This Parisian-inspired residence, showcasing historic bowtruss architecture and thoughtful design, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Chicago’s heritage in a thriving neighborhood. Elevated by live-work zoning for versatility and convenience, the home is also equipped with an Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) system that ensures continuous fresh, filtered air while maintaining energy efficiency. Tucked away in West Logan Square, this home embodies a rare fusion of old-world craftsmanship and modern luxury—a blend that is distinctive and highly sought-after. The private work-live space is surrounded by a community of loyal residents and a vibrant local scene of restaurants, coffee shops, and businesses. Convenient access to grocery stores and major highways adds to the convenience of this location, making it an ideal investment for those valuing comfort and functionality in a quieter city setting.
