2325 W Erie Street

Modern home in West Town, which Time Out just named one of the world's 20 coolest neighborhoods (No. 18 for 2026). It's also in the top-rated Mitchell Elementary School District. Designed by Studio Dwell, this 4,100 sq ft house has open, sun-filled living space and top-quality finishes throughout. The main floor brings the living, dining, and family rooms together with the kitchen: Italian Arclinea cabinets, Miele, Sub-Zero, and Gaggenau appliances, a serving area, and a bar with a wine fridge. Oversized custom Pella sliding glass doors open to a large private deck with a natural gas grill hookup. There's more outdoor space on top of the garage: a custom rooftop deck with a pergola and privacy panels. The primary suite takes up half of the second floor and feels like a very good hotel. Closet space is generous: a fully organized walk-in plus 18 linear feet of reach-in closets. Bathrooms have Zuma, Duravit, Grohe, and Toto fixtures, and two are finished in Japanese glass tile from Oramano. Hardwood floors run through the first and second levels. The lower level has radiant-heated epoxy floors, a rec room with a wet bar, and a FireOrb fireplace by Spark Modern Fires. Other details: Lutron lighting controls, dual HVAC, built-in speakers, and a 2-car garage. Walk to Smith Park, the Grand Ave Metra station, and the shops, galleries, and restaurants along Chicago Ave. A few local favorites close by: coffee at Dark Matter or Match-a, pastries at Guillotine Bakery, dinner at Elina's or Sabroso, drinks at Lemon or Tuman's Tap, home finds at The Golden Triangle and Neybir Home, and the latest show at Andrew Rafacz Gallery.
