Chicago Batcave Warehouse Conversion
No one can be Batman. The role's well accounted for. But you can now live in your own Batcave, thanks to a new listing in Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood. A bow-truss warehouse space transformed into a work-live artists' residence, the property boasts three bedrooms, three full baths, and two additional half baths spread throughout its more than 7,400 square-foot interior. And the spacious home is more than your run-of-the-mill minimalist mansion. It has a grand open floor plan, steel doors and cabinets, Venetian plastered walls, gallery lighting, and a massive, 40-foot glass door that opens to the courtyard-style backyard with built-in seating and firepits for entertaining. Beyond just being beautiful, though, the previous owner ensured the home was impressively private and secure. Set back off the street, it has a privacy hedge, an electric-access gate, and a pull-in garage with direct access to the rest of the house, helping whoever eventually buys this home really feel like Bruce Wayne here, with direct eyeline of your Batmobile at all times.
