A Lincoln Park Masterpiece: Architectural Legacy at 2107 N. Dayton Street

by Craig Hogan

A Family’s Architectural Legacy

In the heart of Lincoln Park, behind a modest facade, lies a residence that is anything but ordinary. 2107 N. Dayton Street is a 7,600-square-foot architectural marvel designed by acclaimed architect Geoff Goldberg—a home that embodies creativity, innovation, and legacy. Recently spotlighted in Crain’s Chicago Business, this offering represents a rare opportunity to own a living piece of Chicago’s modernist story.

When Goldberg designed this home for his family more than two decades ago, he wove together strands of a remarkable creative lineage. His father, Bertrand Goldberg, gave the city its iconic Marina City towers. His grandmother, sculptor Lillian Florsheim, infused artistry into form. At 2107 N. Dayton, that heritage resonates in every detail—from its dramatic volumes to its masterful use of light.

Design Brilliance and Timeless Materials

From the moment you step inside, the house reveals its poetry:

  • A two-story living room flooded with natural light through tall windows that frame the surrounding trees.

  • Venetian plaster walls and a walnut central staircase, paired with custom millwork and specialty lighting.

  • Expansive dining and entertaining spaces, a media room, and a chef’s kitchen fitted with premium appliances.

  • A seamless transition outdoors, with an Ipe deck and catwalk set above the four-car garage, shaded by mature trees.

Every space is a study in balance—function meeting form, comfort infused with refinement.

Living Spaces That Inspire

Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms include a serene primary suite with a spa-like bath, alongside a study that overlooks the living room below. The entry level offers a private in-law suite with a morning kitchen, plus practical work, studio, and laundry spaces that flow out to a lush garden. The lower level complements the home with a recreation and fitness room, a climate-controlled wine cellar, and ample storage.
