Summary

Set on one of the city's most fashionable streets, this is the northmost home on Astor. Its unique position on the block ensures that the home is flooded with natural light; it faces east, west, and north with oversized windows overlooking the Cardinal's mansion and Lincoln Park. Unlike the historic revival style homes typical of the Gold Coast, this one-of-a-kind mid-century modern home was designed by Chicago architect I. W. Colburn. It was later gut renovated with an Art Deco-themed interior by two prestigious Chicago firms: Marvin Herman & Associates and Suzanne Lovell Inc. Today, this home offers approximately 6,500 sqft of sophisticated living space, fabulous private outdoor space, and garage parking for two cars. The interior finishes are of exceptional quality; they include stained custom hardware, millwork, and cabinetry, hand-cast plaster moldings, a curved staircase with artisan fabricated bronze and steel balusters, three distinctive gas fireplaces, inlaid rift-sawn white oak, limestone and marble floors, custom paint, and vellum wall coverings. Ideally located by the park, lakefront, and downtown, this exceptional home is for the buyer who wants the very best!
