Description

Architecturally significant, this beautifully renovated landmark single-family home is truly one-of-a-kind. Situated on one of Gold Coast's most coveted streets, 53 E Bellevue seamlessly blends historic charm with world-class modern design. Originally built in the late 18th century, the home was fully renovated between 2013-2015 by Wheeler Kearns, Sharleen Young and Bulley and Andrews, thoughtfully preserving the historic brick facade. Spanning over 6,500 square feet across four levels, the residence offers 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, two exceptional outdoor spaces, and a two-car attached garage. A dramatic one-and-a-half-story glass conservatory serves as a striking architectural centerpiece, flooding the home with rare southern light- an extraordinary amenity in the Gold Coast. The main level features a stunning foyer leading to a formal living room with 11-foot ceilings, custom oak hardwood floors throughout, a gas fireplace, and picturesque views of tree-lined Bellevue. Beyond the formal living room is a sophisticated dining area perfect for family gatherings or large parties. The magnificent chef's kitchen is equipped with custom stone countertops, a top-of-the-line Wolf six-burner range and hood, integrated appliances, custom-built ceiling-height cabinetry, two breakfast bars, and an adjoining family room. Just beyond, the glass conservatory creates a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, with a staircase leading to the first private outdoor space. The second floor is entirely dedicated to the primary bedroom suite, offering sanctuary of luxury and privacy. Upon entry, you are welcomed by a striking skylight that floods the space with so much natural light, a cozy living room complete with a fireplace, a full bathroom, and access to the first private outdoor space- making this the perfect oasis. The primary bedroom features a charming seating area with a gas fireplace. Lavish spa-like primary bathroom offering dual vanity, large shower, separate soaking tub, and storage. Additionally, this floor includes a grand wrap-around walk-in closet, and a second laundry room. The third floor features 3 expansive bedrooms, and 2 luxurious bathrooms one of which is ensuite. Additionally, this level offers a beautifully appointed living room with access to your second private outdoor space. The lower level is thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and versatility, featuring exterior access, a family room with a designated workout area, a second laundry room, a spacious bedroom, and a full bathroom, ideal for guests. PRIME Gold Coast Location just steps to the best shopping, the lakefront, parks, cafes, bars, restaurants and nightlife in Chicago. Easy access to the public transportation and Lake Shore Dr. LINCOLN PARK HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT!

    "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"
