Located in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, the Leavitt House was converted from a factory into a modern loft-style residence by homeowner Karen Ranquist. Once a warehouse during the 1920s, the clean-lined space maintains many of its original industrial details such as timber beams and exposed brick. As a solution to the building's lack of windows, the unusual triangular footprint allows natural light to flood the 8,600-square-foot property thanks to a central atrium. For those seeking a verdant oasis in the heart of the city, the Leavitt House also offers plenty of outdoor areas including a massive deck with gorgeous views of downtown Chicago.
