We’re strong on modern builds - we build modern houses across Chicago, backed by 20+ years of contracting experience and an exemplary track record. If you want modern style without the usual execution headaches, that’s the cool part that Fortress Home can easily deliver!
The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island, and stainless steel appliances—built for cooking, hosting, and everyday life. The primary suite is a private retreat with a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom, plus a generous second bedroom with a large closet and easy access to a full guest bath.

This building is made with dry blocks and Utility Vintage Black Smooth brick supplied by Werden Buck Company.
We used the water-repellent block to keep the walls waterproof. The wall top is covered with metal coping. The foundation and driveway are made of concrete, the roof is made of rubber, and the exterior uses bricks.
Edgewater is one of Chicago’s most livable lakefront neighborhoods—known for its strong community feel, easy transit, and quick access to the shoreline. You’re steps from Andersonville, a major dining/shopping destination packed with independent restaurants, cafés, and boutiques.
You’re also close to the Lakewood Balmoral and Bryn Mawr Historic Districts, which add real character and classic Chicago architecture to the surrounding blocks. For outdoor time, Lake Michigan parks and paths are nearby, making it easy to get a true “city + lakefront” lifestyle.
Transit is simple here: Edgewater is well-served by CTA buses and nearby ‘L’ access (Red Line stations in the area), making commuting downtown or to other neighborhoods straightforward. It’s a location that combines everyday convenience with a neighborhood vibe buyers really love.
Enjoy a private front balcony off the living room and the added luxury of assigned rooftop space with sweeping city views, plus elevator access to a common rooftop deck. Conveniences include in-unit washer/dryer; photos shown are from a recent developer project and reflect finishes that will be essentially the same.
