Description

Classic in style and transitional in design, 53 E. Division St. is a 7,500-square-foot, 5 bed/9 bath luxury home in the heart of the Gold Coast with four private outdoor spaces and a rare attached garage. One of the only residential works by famed architect Jarvis Hunt, located steps from Oak Street Beach and moments from the Mag Mile, the renovated Beaux-Arts exterior is a masterpiece of ornate ironwork and limestone, accented by beautiful landscaping and a fountain. Inside, the main level begins with a foyer that teases the world-class finishes that can be found throughout, including moments of expertly preserved original marble and millwork details. The impressively spacious, open-concept living/dining room sets the stage for elevated entertaining, and features 12'-high ceilings, an extremely rare 20'-wide footprint for the Gold Coast, herringbone hardwood floors, French doors that open to Juliet balconies, and the first of three wood-burning fireplaces. The dining space flaunts beautiful built-ins and marble stairs that ascend into a handsome family room with coffered ceiling and a custom bar center. Most recently, this home's gorgeous chef's kitchen underwent a complete renovation courtesy of KitchenLab Interiors and features custom cabinetry, natural stone countertops, professional-grade appliances, a long island with dine-up seating, and character from a limestone fireplace and more French doors. Four distinctive, design-forward en-suite bedrooms are spread across the second and third levels, including one that's styled as a gorgeous owners' den, another that's designed as a light and bright home office with a custom wet bar, and one with a private patio (5'11" x 21'3"). The spectacularly spacious primary suite boasts arched windows, a sitting area, bespoke built-ins, a custom walk-in closet with styling and beverage stations, and a newly renovated marble bath with dual vanity, soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. The top level is an indoor/outdoor entertainer's paradise, including two incredible rooftop spaces: one with a full professional-grade kitchen, dining and lounge spaces, and a fire table (22'4" x 26'5"); the other with a luxe, open-air spa (12'4" x 29'3"). Better still, the lower level features a temperature-controlled wine room, a large recreation/media room, the fifth en-suite bedroom (perfect for extended-stay guests or an au pair as it has its own entrance), and access to the home's fully finished, attached garage with a bonus refrigerator and wine fridge. Additional callout details include multiple half-baths, full-home automation via a Control4 system, state-of-the-art mechanicals including an all-floors elevator, designer wallcoverings and statement lighting throughout, an upstairs laundry room, a lower level mudroom, and abundant storage. Walking distance to world-class dining and shopping, top schools, and the Division Street Farmers' Market, 53 E. Division St. is turnkey luxury with the very best of Chicago right outside your front door.

    "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
    "Overall safe area. usually heavy traffic. Close to beaches, great for summertime. Close to best restaurants and grocery stores."
  • Trulia User
    "Great - wonderful - fantastic - superb - great - fantastic - amazing - excellent - running out of things to say"
  • 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."
  • Dorothy A.
    "Transportation is easy and many services available. Walkable to many places. Major subway lines and buses, lakefront bike path, very walkable."
  • Dorothy A.
    "It is near the park and beach and safe. It has nice stores for shopping. It has good transportation to downtown museums."
  • Joseph G.
    "I find this neighborhood to be diversified and have blocks of different architecture, good maintenance. "
  • Renblank
    "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."
  • Asya p.
    "Beautiful, well manicured lawns; abundance of fun places to grab food and drinks, lots of groceries, and shopping. Close to the lake. "
  • Stefano M.
    "Extremely close to the lake, beautiful neighborhood feeling with great access to restaurants, supermarkets and shops "

  • Delmonico3
    "everything is near me i like this town and i live here for a long time there is a lot of people i know "
  • Lauracbritton
    "This neighborhood has the perfect mix of access to the beautiful Magnificent Mile, and a cozy feel with parks and beaches. It's an easy walk to public transportation and the Loop. During the winter, every tree in the whole neighborhood is covered in white lights. It's magical. This area is served by K-12 Ogden International School, which has a 1+ rating with CPS -- the highest rating possible."
