Description

This elegant, renovated Gold Coast single family home offers an oasis of calm and sophistication. Originally constructed in 1891 and redesigned in 2020, this home evokes the best artisanry including a breathtaking staircase connecting floor after floor of splendid architecture, millwork, and finishes. Offering 5 bedrooms, 5.1 bathrooms, a private garden, terrace, spacious sun-filled rooms, soaring ceilings, five fireplaces and an attached heated two car garage, this four-level home is the epitome of luxury and is a masterpiece of architecture and interior design that speaks directly to the senses. As you enter through the secure iron gates you are greeted by a sophisticated vestibule with a gorgeous chandelier highlighting the dazzling black and white tiles. Perfect for entertaining, the main living level offers an open yet intimate floorplan with a large living room anchored by a fireplace, a lovely formal dining room overlooking the private garden and the perfectly designed kitchen with all the fine details you would expect. The second-floor features two bedrooms including the sun-filled primary suite with oversized windows, a fireplace, a bathroom that will take your breath away and a dressing area with built-in closets, drawers, and shelving. One of two laundry areas are conveniently located on this floor. The terrace serves as an outdoor living room with a fireplace, offering privacy and a relaxing entertaining space set in the heart of the city. The third floor is filled with sunlight from the skylights above, creating a warm invitation to retreat to the two peaceful bedrooms plus office / den on this top floor. Each bedroom has large windows, gracious closet space, and full-size en-suite baths. The fully finished lower level offers a 2nd entrance. There is a large recreation room with full wet bar, a 5th bedroom, full bath and second laundry - all which can function as a fully separate guest suite. The entire house has gorgeous windows letting in abundant light everywhere. Each bathroom is finished in an array of designer stone and tiles and each light fixture was selected to make a statement in every room. These true works of art epitomize the sense of high style that has been brought to the home. Located within what is already one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Chicago, Goethe is particularly special street. The architecture is as harmonious as it was way back then - that explains why some of the most discerning people in Chicago have gravitated to this Gold Coast location. A truly special home ready for you to live and enjoy life.
