4 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Sophisticated and historic, this 4700 SQFT home was originally designed in 1887 by John Wellborn Root. Root was a master of light, as is evidenced by this sun-filled residence in Chicago's Gold Coast. The home underwent total renovation in 2021 to appeal to a modern sensibility. One floor is dedicated entirely to living space and features a living room with fireplace and enough room for two separate seating areas, a formal dining room, powder room, and a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen with iceberg quartzite countertops and best in class appliances with 2 Sub-Zeros, Wolf cooktop and two dishwashers. Conveniently located off the kitchen is a large deck, ideal for entertaining, grilling, or dining al fresco. Accessed by a curvaceous spindle staircase (or private elevator), ensuite bedrooms give family and friends the space to spread out. The primary suite occupies the entire top floor of this home and offers complete privacy and total serenity. Highlights include a graciously sized bedroom with fireplace, a custom walk-in closet with second laundry, and an opulent ensuite bath with jetted tub, oversized shower, dual vanities, and access to a private deck. Additional amenities include a luxurious in-law suite (or nanny suite) with separate entrance, seamless hardwood floors throughout, two private terraces, a family-friendly mudroom, a subterranean flex space with surplus storage. This home includes state-of-the-art smart home systems, Sonos sound system, Lutron lighting, a new ADT wireless security system, and wireless mesh on all five floors. Located on quiet, prestigious, tree-lined Astor Street overlooking Goudy Square Park, two blocks from Oak Street Beach and the lakefront, and within close proximity to 5 Star dining and world class shopping.
