About this House

What's unique:Guest suiteMaintenance-free trex deckingDesigner finishesChic office with fireplaceRich dark hardwood floorsArchitectural charm
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.

    "Dogs everywhere on leash. Plenty of grass. Plenty of exercise. Options to get out of the city easily."
  • Lori Roberts
    "It’s a lovely neighborhood and you see lots of moms and some dads pushing a stroller with their baby l/babies. It seems safe, but crime does come into the area sometimes. I’ve never seen that though."
  • Trulia User
    "There are plenty of people walking their dogs around this neighborhood so it will definitely be a common occurrence to see people walking their dogs"

  • Trulia User
    "This area is safe and friendly. I always feel comfortable going outside and walking my dog at anytime or walking home from the bars. There is a heavy police presence in the area so you will never be far from one. I am in walking distance of grocery stores and parks and coffee shops. "
  • Maralyn O.
    "If you live in the historic part the trees are wonderful lining the streets. And it’s quiet tucked away in some of these streets. High end shopping and dining in this area."

    "I find this neighborhood to be diversified and have blocks of different architecture, good maintenance. "

    "11 minutes to get the loop via a cab for about 10 dollars. Red line is also very convenient and so it the bus."
  • Dan F.
    "Incredible proximity to the lake, mag mile, and city center. Amazing waking stress and close to the park. Arguably, the most desirable area to live in Chicago"
  • Madelynn J.
    "Sometimes crowded on the 151 bus, but they’re pretty frequent. I would leave some extra time. The red line also is super crowded at the clark/division in the morning so leave some extra time. Always better to have more time than not enough when trying to commute from this part of town"
  • Joseph G.
    "Convenient, but needs better scheduling during peak hrs. Also, bus status at each stop! Dangerous to be standing out! "
  • Trulia User
    "It is beautiful and clean and it has gorgeous views of the lake with little crime. All of the buildings are well kept. It feels like the upper east side of New York. "
  • KT
    "I travel a lot for work, so my commute is typically a cab to the airport. Cabs are readily available in the neighborhood. I prefer them to Uber / Lyft, which are also readily available in the neighborhood. Other than that, probably 95% or more of my trips are by foot."
  • W.S.
    "The festivals during the Summer months are lively, many are music based yet also have art related aspects to them as well."
  • K
    "I travel frequently for work. O’Hare is about a 25 minute cab ride Monday morning. Thursday night varies a lot but is usually 45-55 minutes. When I’m not traveling, my office is in the Loop, a pleasant 30 minute walk from my apartment."
