Description

Step inside this masterfully restored circa 1898 Gold Coast home where historic architecture blends seamlessly with contemporary updates, creating a rare, truly move-in-ready residence on iconic Dearborn Street. Tall ceilings, restored original details, and beautifully updated spaces define every level of this home. The formal living room offers a bay window with original stained glass, a gas fireplace, and preserved millwork. Pocket doors open to a sophisticated library featuring the fully restored marquetry ceiling and an additional fireplace-an ideal space for work, reading, or quiet retreat. French doors lead to the formal dining room, a refined backdrop for entertaining with surround sound and period moldings. On the main level, a gallery hallway anchored by lantern lighting and skylights creates an architectural moment all its own, enhancing light, scale, and circulation while connecting the primary living spaces. Just beyond, a fully updated and open kitchen features quartzite counters, custom cabinetry, and premium Sub-Zero, Dacor, and Miele appliances. The kitchen transitions naturally to a large family room with surround sound, wood paneling concealing storage, and a hidden TV that maintains clean sightlines. Three sets of French doors open to an irrigated terrace with a fountain-supporting easy indoor-outdoor living. A discreet service hallway offers additional circulation and includes a powder room for guests. The second level presents two private bedroom suites, each positioned for separation and privacy. The east Primary suite features original stained glass, a gas fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a spa bath with heated floors, steam shower, jetted tub, and Waterworks fixtures. The west bedroom suite offers French doors to a private terrace, custom closets, and a bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and Waterworks fixtures. A dedicated home office with custom built-ins sits between both suites, supporting a productive work-from-home environment. The third level includes three additional bedrooms, a full bath with dual vanity, and a built-out walk-in closet. The lower level features a secondary entrance, a recreation room with bar and appliances, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, large laundry room, abundant storage, and an attached heated two-car garage. Updated HVAC systems, smart wiring, sprinkler system, and preserved architectural character complete this offering-delivering scale, livability, and historic integrity in one of Chicago’s most desirable neighborhoods. Steps to the lakefront, parks, boutique shopping, renowned dining, and the Latin School of Chicago. A rare combination of restored craftsmanship, architectural interest, and move-in-ready comfort-right in the heart of the Gold Coast.
