    What's special

    Stunning fireplaceMeticulously crafted flooringState-of-the-art modern refinementWhite stone bathroomOrnamental lightingFour gracious bedroomsProfessionally landscaped english garden
    Commanding a rare 30' x 150' corner parcel on one of the Gold Coast's most coveted blocks, this extraordinary landmark residence represents a rare opportunity to own a trophy property of historical significance. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the estate has undergone a masterful, two-year restoration. The result is a seamless fusion of timeless nineteenth-century elegance and state-of-the-art modern refinement, defined by soaring proportions, sun-drenched interiors, and impeccable artisan craftsmanship. The main level opens into a dramatic, gallery-like entrance foyer adorned with bespoke lighting, designer wallcoverings, and meticulously crafted flooring that sets the tone for the entire home. The formal living room features a stunning fireplace, incomparable millwork, and expansive bay windows overlooking Dearborn Street. This space flows effortlessly into a gracious family room anchored by an original Eastlake-styled mantel over a gas fireplace, flanked by floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a five-window bay overlooking Burton Street. Throughout the principal rooms, the architectural artistry is defined by soaring 14-foot ceilings composed of tinted and gilded plaster, complemented by custom hardwood flooring and exceptional woodwork.The culinary wing features a gourmet chef's kitchen showcasing bespoke cabinetry, professional Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, a large walk-in pantry, wall-to-wall subway tile, custom black-and-white checkered stone flooring, and premium marble countertops. The kitchen expands into a light-filled solarium and breakfast room, offering serene views of the landscaped English garden. A formal dining room adjoins the kitchen, while a secondary gallery provides seamless access to the elevator, powder room, and the home's grand principal staircase.The second level houses four gracious bedrooms and two fully updated bathrooms. Occupying the northeast corner of the residence, the primary suite serves as a sanctuary with treetop views along both Dearborn & Burton Streets. This luxury retreat offers exceptionally gracious sleeping quarters, an expansive dressing room, a large walk-in closet, and the convenience of secondary laundry. The spa-like primary bath is outfitted with classic marble flooring, dual vanities, Ann Sacks tile, a large soaking tub, and a spacious steam shower, all complemented by premium Lefroy Brooks plumbing fixtures. The remaining guest bedrooms feature curated designer wallcoverings, ornamental lighting, and meticulously restored historic doors and hardware.Grandeur continues on the third level with practical living spaces, including a great room with a wet bar, a playroom, a guest bedroom with a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a sixth bedroom configured as an office. The fourth level is crowned by a spectacular, light-filled glass atrium ceiling that opens directly onto a massive outdoor roof terrace, offering panoramic 360-degree views of the iconic Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. The finished lower level houses a highly functional mudroom with custom built-ins, providing direct garden access, alongside a climate-controlled wine cellar, a recreation room, a principal laundry suite, a white stone bathroom, and multiple storage rooms. The elegance of the estate extends outdoors to a professionally landscaped English garden that provides a seamless transition between the main residence and coach house. Situated above an extra-wide, two-car garage with a private side driveway along Burton Street, an updated one-bed, one-bath coach house offers ideal accommodations for guests. Upgrades include a slate mansard roof, historically replicated high-performance Marvin windows, a completely renovated copper water service, updated electrical service, advanced integrated audio-visual systems and elevator. Sited in Chicago's most distinguished enclave, moments from the Mag Mile, world-class dining, Lincoln Park and the scenic lakefront path.
