Beautiful French inspired home in the heart of Lincoln Park Chicago.
Rising amidst the grand homes of North Howe Street, this stately house has more than 6,600 SF. In total, the home has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms and three powder rooms. Designed with an extra-wide floor plan (21'-2"), achieved through side-yard relief, and an attached garage achieved through rear-yard relief, it is a truly unique home in a truly stunning environment.
The centerpiece of the home is its dramatic, 11-foot-diameter circular stair that ascends four floors from the lower level to the roof decks where panoramic windows (and views) infuse the staircase and lower levels with natural light. Public areas include classically-proportioned living and dining rooms, designed in an open-plan concept with architectural distinction enabling them to function individually. A gourmet, eat-in kitchen opens to the home's great room and rear gardens and is connected via its own staircase to the lower level family room, mud room and attached 2-1/2 car, heated garage.
The second floor is a dedicated master floor, accessed by the main stair or the home's elevator. Features include a groin-vaulted ceiling; attached sun-room; private balcony; lavishly appointed master bath; tremendous closet space, including a 120 SF walk-in closet, and; an en-suite office. Four family bedrooms and three bathrooms are located on the third floor.
This home was sold early in its construction process.

This bedroom goes further than simply acknowledging the upholstered bed trend; it embraces the trend and improves on it. Surrounding the fabric-covered centerpiece is a collection of contemporary - even art-deco - decor elements that make this bedroom pop.

After a devastating fire destroyed this Woodinville, Washington home, the homeowners faced the unimaginable task of rebuilding their lives and their house from the ground up. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the home itself could not be saved.
Cutuli Homes had the privilege of walking alongside the homeowners through the rebuilding process—helping transform a heartbreaking loss into an opportunity to create a completely new home designed for the way they wanted to live today.
Rather than simply recreate the dated house that had been lost, the homeowners chose to move forward. Working closely together, we created a home that feels modern, elegant, warm and distinctly Pacific Northwest—a place that acknowledges what came before while giving the family something beautiful to come home to again.
The new open-concept kitchen and family room became the heart of the rebuilt home. A dramatic vaulted ceiling with dark-stained wood beams brings warmth and architectural definition to the light-filled space. The kitchen combines crisp white custom cabinetry, black accents, stainless-steel appliances, dark countertops, a generous contrasting island and contemporary pendant lighting. Large windows bring the surrounding Woodinville landscape into the home and fill the kitchen with natural light.
The adjoining family room continues the home's understated Northwest aesthetic. A beautifully detailed fireplace creates a natural focal point, while the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams give the room a sense of scale without sacrificing warmth. The open relationship between the kitchen and living spaces was designed for everyday family life as well as entertaining.
The bathrooms were given the same careful attention to craftsmanship and materials. Custom shaker-style cabinetry, stone countertops, patterned tile, soft gray finishes, oversized mirrors, black hardware and beautifully tiled tub and shower surrounds create spaces that feel sophisticated yet comfortable. Clean lines and a restrained palette give the bathrooms a quiet, spa-like quality that complements the rest of the home.
Throughout the rebuilding process, our goal went far beyond constructing a new house. Losing a home to fire is deeply personal, and rebuilding requires countless decisions at a time when homeowners are already navigating an extraordinarily difficult experience. Cutuli Homes worked closely with the family throughout the process, helping guide the construction and turn their ideas for a fresh beginning into a home that could once again feel like theirs.
The finished residence is not simply a replacement for what was lost. It represents a new chapter: a dated home transformed into a thoughtfully designed custom residence filled with light, craftsmanship and warmth.
From ashes came an opportunity to create something beautiful—and, we hope, a little joy after tragedy.
For more than 30 years, Cutuli Homes has built and remodeled custom homes throughout Woodinville, Seattle, the Eastside, King County, Snohomish County and the greater Puget Sound region, specializing in highly personalized residential construction, major renovations and custom craftsmanship.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that I am extremely pleased with the work that Columbia Roofing did in replacing the roof on our Kent Island home. The house has a complicated roof structure with multiple gables and a quarter round conical roof which spans between two vertical walls in the back. We choose a 50 year Owens Corning shingle and to assure a good job, we only obtained quotes from roofing companies that received outstanding reviews.
We were pleased when the Columbia production crew roofed the house without issue and brought the full visual effect of slate using the 4 tab asphalt shingle with its distinctive keyway.
When it came to the conical roof, we were faced with the possibility of having to install a metal roof in lieu of maintaining the slate like appearance that was so prominent on the other roof sections of the house. Our preference was to maintain the appearance of slate on the conical section similar to that seen on the old slate roof cathedrals. While this is easy to say, I can now appreciate how difficult it is to do.
To honor our wishes, Ben Alsop came to the house and worked through the complicated layout necessary to use the same 4 tab shingles on the conical section. To do the job properly, every single 4 tab shingle had to be cut into individual tabs.
Each tab was then taken up on the roof where the keyway was aligned to vertical through a system of straight lines drawn from the point of the conical roof to the starter shingle at the roof’s edge. Each tab had to be cut again (often multiple times) after the tab alignment was complete. To assure the accuracy necessary to maintain the visual effect, Ben took it upon himself to personally perform the roofing of the conical section.
Ben is a manager for Columbia Roofing who no longer performs the physical roofing work after coming up through the ranks of the roofing trade. His personal dedication to getting this job done for us in a way that is simply stellar could not go without acknowledgement. Ben is not only a craftsman, he is an artisan whose skill set can clearly be seen in the pictures that I have attached.
I want to thank Columbia Roofing for a job well done and particularly I want to thank Ben for taking the time and putting in the effort to truly make this a stellar installation.”
