Completely Rebuilt 4-Bedroom London-Style Lincoln Park Row House: 558 W. Fullerton Parkway
This 4-bedroom vintage row house at 558 W. Fullerton Parkway in Lincoln Park came on the market in July 2024.
Built in 1889 on a 20×111 lot, this brick row house is in the Fullerton Parkway historic district.
The listing says it was “completely rebuilt and finished in 2024” with meticulous design, exquisite finishes and state-of-the-art technology.
It says the “owner spared no effort or expense.”
You enter on the main floor which has 11 foot ceilings and is open concept living and dining rooms.
It has white oak hardwood floors in a herringbone pattern, a vented fireplace and custom millwork and moldings that are done to look like the period of the house.
A “gourmet” kitchen is also on the main floor with white and black cabinets, gold finishes and top of the line appliances.
Off the kitchen is a blue stone paved patio with seating for 12 and a built-in grill, with landscaping, which leads to a slate roof portico with antique stained glass windows sourced from London.
3 of the 4 bedrooms are on the second floor including the primary. There are also 2 full baths.
The primary suite has an en suite bathroom with heated marble floors and a closet.
The listing says the lower level was “dug out” and now has 9 foot ceilings.
It has a family room, with a fireplace, a wet bar, a small, windowless office with a built-in desk, storage closets, a mudroom, a full bathroom and the fourth bedroom.
The lower level also has a private door to the front yard.
The house has central air and the side-by-side laundry is on the second floor with the bedrooms.
It also has parking behind the home, under the blue paved patio/portico, in the form of a 2-car carport (see the pictures).
This row home is in a prime part of Lincoln Park, near the shops and restaurants on Clark, near Lincoln Park and the Conservatory and Zoo. It’s also close to several bus lines.
Listed in July 2024 at $2.29 million, it has been reduced $140,000 to $2.15 million.
Buyers love “new.”
Will the price cut get it done?
Xun Del Sesto and Arthur Rothschild at Jameson Sotheby’s have the listing. See the pictures and floor plan here.
Or see it at the Open House on Saturday, Aug 17, 2024, from 11 am to 1 pm.

I will say that whoever took the pictures did a really, really good job. And should be the standard for >$1MM properties
Overall this seems like a well done renovation.
I wonder how big this is? 2,000 square feet?
It’s nice that they built out the basement. That is huge to dig it out. Makes that space really usable. That, alone, is enough to make me buy it if I was in the market for something like this.
It’s good it has parking AND the outdoor space. They came up with a clever fix to that.
Beautiful modern finishes in this house.
Really nice. Dig the carport and mudroom.
Outdoor space is beautiful, but seems like there isn’t room for a dining table (thus they don’t have one)? I think I sit on our outdoor couch/chairs maybe a half dozen times a year, but have at least 150 meals a year outside.
Love that they didn’t trash the main LR by putting a TV in there, but there doesn’t appear to be one in the lower level LR either – Do they not watch TV in London?
It’s weird because the decor/fixtures are as gray as yesterday’s property, but I absolutely love this and didn’t care for the Carlyle unit.
I think you could fit a table and chairs on the terrace, but it would be tight for more than 4.
If you took out one of the planters, you’d have plenty of room.
And I think that’s a TV (hung too high) over the fireplace downstairs.
Worst thing is the neighbor. If that has a reasonable chance of being upgraded, this becomes much better.
I love this stretch of Fullerton and this is an elegant property, though I wish it retained more vintage features. I wish the street weren’t so busy.
“Love that they didn’t trash the main LR by putting a TV in there, but there doesn’t appear to be one in the lower level LR either – Do they not watch TV in London?”
It’s your dreaded “above the fireplace” anonny. In the lower level family room.
“I love this stretch of Fullerton and this is an elegant property, though I wish it retained more vintage features.”
Sometimes they can’t be saved. Or people just really want to live in the modern way, without chopped up rooms. I don’t think there are any of the original vintage features in this home but they did put in some really nice crown molding.
“It’s weird because the decor/fixtures are as gray as yesterday’s property, but I absolutely love this and didn’t care for the Carlyle unit.”
I really hope the gray goes out quickly. I think the gray floors already have (heaven help those who installed it.) Let’s bring back California warm with the golden undertones. Lol.
