1756 Wabansia Avenue

This Bucktown residence unfolds fabulously the moment you enter. Designed by Stephen Young, the home is a study in restraint and intention, where clean lines, natural light, and thoughtful materials meet the ultimate walk to it all location. Set just off The 606 and within reach of Burr Elementary School, the location offers a balance of neighborhood charm with city energy. Morning coffee, an evening walk, dinner in Wicker Park, it's all within a few blocks. Inside, the main level feels expansive without trying. Light moves through floor-to-ceiling glass, shifting throughout the day and giving the home a quiet sense of the outside coming in. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with Gaggenau and Miele, but never overstated. It's a space designed for someone who actually cooks, or hopes to soon. Just beyond, the mood and feel changes. A garage roof deck, unexpectedly serene, leans into a Japanese-inspired calm with bamboo screening and soft geometry. It feels tucked away, almost meditative, a rare counterpoint to the city. Technology here is integrated. A full ELAN system works alongside Lutron lighting and automated shades. The primary suite is about atmosphere. Warm light, generous proportions, and a spa bath finished with Toto and Hansgrohe create a space that feels genuinely restorative. The adjacent dressing area is expansive. The lower level is as lovely as the others. Radiant heat from a Navien system, natural light, and ceiling height give it the same livability as the upper floors. A media lounge with surround sound, wet bar, and additional bedrooms makes it equally suited for hosting or retreating. Then, there's the rooftop. Not just a deck, but a fully realized outdoor room with a fire table, television, and subtle water feature. It's where the home shows off again, trading intimacy for skyline and sky. A wide two-car garage completes the picture, but it's the balance between design and livability, that sets it apart. Walk to it all in moments, including the North Ave L stop and all that this location has to offer.
