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.
