Racine Residence — Chicago

With all the finishing touches in place, this Lakeview home looks absolutely incredible — don’t you think?

Built around 1880, the beautiful façade of this historic home was first modernized with a fresh coat of black brick stain. A thorough remodeling of the interior brought new finishes and luxury upgrades to the property, while minimally altering the timeless original floorplan. To add spaciousness to the open kitchen + living room area, the backyard-facing door and windows were replaced with these contemporary large-format folding doors from Centor. The rear yard was even raised to match the level of the first floor, making this transition between indoors and outdoors feel extra fluid and seamless. Thanks to the integrated screen, which can be pulled from a hidden compartment at one end of the opening, these homeowners can also enjoy all the nice breezes without any of the bugs!
