"The residence, a pair of combined 1800s row homes in the leafy Chicago enclave, checked all the boxes: within walking distance of her three kids' school, original architectural details intact, historic block, and ample outdoor space. It even allowed the entire family to have all their bedrooms on the same floor-unusual for a town house."
"With the contract signed and keys in hand, Adler set about doing the work her firm is known for-highlighting classic structural elements, preserving history through painstaking refurbishment, and formulating the perfect mix of modern, bespoke, and antique elements."
Designer Sasha Adler discovered a combined pair of 1800s row homes in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood that met her family's needs: proximity to schools, original architectural details, historic character, and bedrooms on one floor. After the listing disappeared when owners reconsidered selling, Adler persisted by sending the owners a family photo and heartfelt letter explaining why they belonged there. Her offer at full price succeeded. During renovations, Adler's firm focused on preserving the home's classic structural elements and historic character while modernizing every surface for contemporary family life. The project extended beyond the initial timeline, requiring the family to move in during the final six months of construction.
