Description

Hidden in Plain Sight - A Gold Coast Gem. Just half a block from Lake Michigan, tucked into the architectural charm of Chicago's iconic Gold Coast, this extraordinary brownstone blends timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Set on a quiet, tree-lined, one-way street between legendary Lake Shore Drive and historic Astor Street, this 5-bedroom, 3 and a half bath residence spans over 4,000 square feet of meticulously curated space. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, rich dark hardwood floors, and designer finishes create an inviting, elevated ambiance. The main level was thoughtfully designed for entertaining-light-filled and seamlessly flowing. The living room is centered around a striking full-height marble fireplace, while the chef's kitchen stuns with an oversized waterfall island featuring an industrial stainless steel top, beverage drawers, wine cooler, and a stainless farmhouse sink. A full perimeter of marble countertops and custom white cabinetry, open shelving, and top-tier Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances-including double ovens-round out this showpiece kitchen. The second level offers three versatile bedrooms-currently styled as a glamorous custom dressing room, a chic office with fireplace and architectural windows, and a spacious guest retreat. Each room boasts exceptional closet space, offering storage rarely seen in the area. The top level is reserved for the luxurious primary suite. Two walk-in closets, full set of laundry machines, a wood-burning fireplace, and a spa-like en suite bath with soaking tub, oversized rain shower with bench, dual vanities, and recessed mirrored cabinetry create the ultimate sanctuary. Step out to your private treetop terrace with maintenance-free Trex decking-an idyllic perch for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Additional highlights include top-of-the-line designer lighting throughout, smart home technology with dimmable controls in every room, and a vibrant yet peaceful energy across all four levels. The lower level includes a cozy media lounge with a dry bar and beverage center, a guest suite, a second oversized laundry room with premium machines, utility sink, and custom built-in storage, along with convenient walkout access. A private rear parking pad doubles as a secluded garden escape, with additional valet and garage parking options just across the street. Located in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods, the Gold Coast offers immediate access to Oak Street Beach, luxury shopping, cultural landmarks, and a celebrated dining scene-Gibsons, Maple & Ash, The Bellevue, Lou Malnati's, Le Colonial, and more. Parks, fitness centers, salons, and neighborhood pubs are all just steps away. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chicago's storied history-where architectural heritage meets elevated urban living. A private sanctuary, moments from the lake and the vibrancy of the best city.
