Description

Positioned on one of the most desirable blocks in Chicago's Gold Coast, just steps from the lakefront, 41 E. Elm St. is a Gothic Revival residence originally designed by Daniel Burnham in 1886. Spanning approximately 4,000 square feet, the home blends historic architecture with a refined transitional interior. Its red brick exterior stands out immediately, with oversized windows that give the home a strong, unmistakable presence on the street. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated, introducing elevated finishes throughout. A foyer with black and white tile and a double coat closet leads into an expansive living and dining space with high ceilings, wide plank hardwood floors, modern crown molding, and a limestone fireplace. A powder room connects to the eat-in kitchen, where quartz countertops, custom white cabinetry, a herringbone backsplash, and Sub-Zero, Bertazzoni, and Miele appliances come together. An island with seating and a wall of built-ins add both function and storage, while direct access to the rear deck allows for easy outdoor dining. A restored spindle staircase leads to the upper levels, where all four bedrooms are positioned above grade, each with its own ensuite bath-an uncommon and highly desirable configuration for single-family homes in this area. The primary suite sits at the front of the home with treetop views, a fireplace, a custom walk-in closet, and a bath with dual vanities and a glass-enclosed shower. The third level includes two additional ensuite bedrooms with walk-in closets and opens to a newly constructed semi-covered roof deck with Trex decking. The rooftop is equipped with a built-in irrigation system, supporting landscaped plantings with ease. The lower level has also been reworked and features a media and family room with a fireplace and wet bar, a temperature-controlled wine room, a private office, a second laundry area, and an additional exterior entry. The home includes two washer and dryer setups. Additional features include custom millwork and closets, new blinds, three fireplaces, abundant storage, professional landscaping, and fresh paint throughout. Parking is available nearby for purchase or lease. Located just steps from the lakefront and Oak Street Beach and moments from the shopping and dining along Oak Street and Michigan Avenue, this is a rare opportunity to own a home with both architectural presence and everyday livability in the heart of the Gold Coast.

    "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."

    "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."

  • 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."

This area is served by K-12 Ogden International School, which has a 1+ rating with CPS -- the highest rating possible."
