This under the stairs space was use for something other than Harry Potters bedroom - a handy spot for coats and boots and hats and etc etc etc. Rather than a closet that would close up the expansive space, hooks and bench add storage but keep that open feel and site lines straight back to the stone...

Butlers pantry with extensive storage for effortless entertaining.

This is a GREAT room in every sense of the word. Open to the kitchen, east access to the screened porch, amazing wood burning fireplace it just has it all.

The true hub of the home - the kitchen is open tot he family room for amazing holiday entertaining or Tuesday night dinner.

Someone get the popcorn, perfect spot for movies with the family.

Plenty of living space in this lower level family room. With 3 kids under 10 this is the perfect spot for the to hang out, spread out and play!

And there they are - the wine fridge and the beer fridge. In the Master bedroom. Some folks want his and hers closets - these folks wanted his and hers beverage centers (they got the closets too).

Climb right in and soak the days troubles away. You might want to close the blinds first!

No excuse for not being super clean after you leave this luxury master bath.

Who said every little girl wants a pepto pink bedroom? This little girl wanted teal and blue - what the princess wants, the princess gets!

Again - who said boys need a blue room? Classic earth tones makes this room the perfect spot (I especially love the stickers on the leg of the bed -- classic!).

The spare bedroom doe not need to be the reject pile of furniture! Make your guests feel welcome and relaxed and comfortable.

Originally slated to be a powder room - this busy family of 5 opted to expand this first floor bath into a full bath with a full glass enclosed shower.

Every bath in this luxury Lincoln Square new construction is unique - and with 5 full baths that's a LOT of tile to choose.

Use every spare inch of that basement to your get what you need. Here the homeowners set up their own home gym - perfect when you can't get outside in brutal Chicago winters.

Quite possibly my favorite room in any house we have ever built. Massive doors open to allow a seamless transition between outdoors and in. Pour a glass or wine, start up a fire and settle in for the evening.

Lots in Chicago are not hug. Typically 25" wide x 125" deep. This custom beauty is extra wide and extra long. The result? A massive house and you still have a yard!

Green space in an urban environment. Let the games begin!
