If you long for the time before Space Age Love Songs became passe in Bucktown, you’ll probably want to pull this space age three-story out of the second-hand bin at the resale shop. The custom-built five-bedroom 4.5-bath single-family home at 2070 N Oakley Ave is so modern, you can use reflections off of its mirrored panels to tan yourself.
Even with little kids wandering around, you can spend your nights resting easier on the family-friendly second-floor with its three-bedrooms and two-baths. Perhaps unnerving, however, is that you’ll also have seven outdoor spaces to keep a watchful eye on.
Looking on the bright side, functionality is just as important as form – did we mention the two laundry rooms? If you’re still upset over what happened to the Artful Dodger, you can always belly up to your own wet bar and sleep peacefully knowing that the next morning, you can cleanse yourself in the privacy of your own gym, sauna and steam room.
And after that? Pull your hovercraft out of the two-car garage and wave at each Blue Line station you pass on your way to outer space.

Lovely! I like how it is sensitive to it’s surroundings. I also admire the detention-facility high security (10′ high?) fence and gate. Howdy neighbor! Get you damn hands of my new electrified fence. And don’t even THINK about coming over to borrow a cup of sugar. And they think they only make gated communities in the suburbs. Yeesh.
Hi Paul – in the words of former Bucktown/WP resident Nelson Algren: “You can live in a home, or you can live in a fortress, but it’s a lead-pipe cinch you can’t live in both.” Guess he was wrong.
It’s definitely one of the more wel-designed modern buildings in the neighborhood, so that’s something to be excited about. Who’s the architect, Yo Chicago?!?
Am I the only one who thinks that bathroom would feel like a jail cell? I can appreciate the modern minimalist look, but this place goes a little too far.
Having a passing familiarity with prison life I can say that the bathroom would be quite nice by prison standards.
You have a one piece flush toilet. It is made outta porcelain. Much better than the stainless steel toilets I shared down at Stateville with Jake and Elwood.
