The Story
3900 North Claremont Avenue 103
A rare opportunity to own an exceptional corner timber loft on one of North Center's quiet, tree-lined side streets. Three-bedroom residences in this historic building are rarely available, with only two sales in the past decade. Bathed in natural light from two walls of oversized industrial windows, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence showcases soaring two-story ceilings, exposed brick, original timber beams, warm wood ceilings, and a dramatic open floor plan that is both striking and inviting. The spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly into the well-appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a large island with seating-creating the perfect setting for entertaining or everyday living. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers the privacy and functionality of a single-family home. Two generous bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, while the entire upper level is dedicated to a private primary suite featuring a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, convenient laundry, a spa-inspired primary bath with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, and a versatile loft retreat overlooking the great room-ideal as a home office, reading lounge, or fitness space. Step outside to your private terrace, perfect for grilling or relaxing, and enjoy the rare convenience of two deeded parking spaces, including one heated attached garage space and one dedicated exterior parking space. Ideally situated just one block from highly sought-after Bell Elementary School, this home also offers easy access to neighborhood restaurants, parks, shopping, public transportation, and all the conveniences that make North Center one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods. As remarkable as the home itself is its history. This building is the last remaining structure from Chicago's pioneering Selig Polyscope Studios, one of America's earliest motion picture studios and a cornerstone of the city's filmmaking history. Rich in architectural character and historic significance, this is more than a beautiful home-it's a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Chicago history.
