Main Level

The main level features an open and airy layout.  The layout has an open front to back design with a two story atrium with skylights and beautiful fireplace in the living room.  The kitchen will have a large island and enough space to have a dinning room table. Also featured on the main level is a half bath that can be used by your visiting guest.

Second Level

The 2nd floor will feature all 3 bedrooms. The Master Bedroom with attached bath will simply amaze you.  The bath will feature his and her sinks and jacuzzi tub.  The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are separated nicely from the master by the two story atrium that starts on the first floor and extends to the roof.   There’s also a 2nd full bath that the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms can share.

Rooftop

The Chicagoan will also feature rooftop access.  The stairs will lead to the roof where there will be an enclosed penthouse.  The roof will be designed to hold a rooftop garden and will have amazing views of the Chicago skyline.

Basement

The Chicagoan comes with a full unfinished basement.  There will be a utility room to house water heater, furnace and sump pumps.  An optional upgrade would be to have radian heat installed in the basement floors making the basement a more usable and cozy space.  A basement bathroom is also an additional upgrade option on this home.

The first Plus House built in Chicago will be appropriately named “The Chicagoan” to represent our great city’s mission to become a green, healthy and sustainable place to live.

This 3 Bed, 2.1 Bath home will feature all the modern amenities that todays buyer deserves and wants.  At the same time this home strives to maximize it’s sustainability and healthiness by shooting for a 400 Plus score on the Chicago Green Building program.

The decision to name this home “The Chicagoan” harkens back to the 1933 World’s Fair, held here in Chicago.  At that exposition, Sears introduced its kit home that allowed homeowners to build for less while reducing the waste that went into typical construction at the time.

Over 75 years later, we hope that homes like “The Chicagoan” can carry on the message of sustainable and affordable housing for the average city dweller.  Our goal is to make living and building in our great city a truly forward thinking experience, that will improve the lives of future generations here in Chicago.
