Welcome to this boundless 5600 square foot full-floor residence located on a historic, quiet, very residential neighborhood in the heart of the Gold Coast. On a street lined with ancient elm trees and surrounded by magnificent historic homes from the 19th and early 20th Centuries, this residence is truly unique. One exits the elegant elevator onto a private furnished landing and enters the apartment's oversized foyer which spills into both an expansive 30 foot living room and a 22 foot dining room. The living and dining rooms are lined with large French steel case windows and working fireplaces. The apartment boasts architectural moldings and red oak and parquet hardwood floors throughout. With 4 extra large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and 5 full bathrooms, this home offers ample accommodation for family and guests. Additional highlights include a sunroom/dressing room, a library with built-in bookcases, an office, a sprawling family/rec room and a garage spot. Furthermore, through the use of well-placed doors and hallways, the apartment can be divided into 3 zones, one for entertaining, one for private residence and one for auxiliary/service functions with its own bath. The apartment's undeniable elegance and style are complemented by high-end appliances, such as the professional Garland stove, including a 6-burner range, two large ovens, a griddle and a flame broiler/grill. The butler's pantry exhibits ample storage and counter workspace while preserving the charm of the original floor-to-ceiling silver safe. Convenience is enhanced by both a front passenger elevator and a rear service elevator. Ideally situated in the midst of a residential preserve with access to nearby Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan beachfront, activities and bike trails but only steps away from Lake Shore Drive and shopping on Michigan Avenue and night life on Rush, Division and Wells Streets. Enjoy proximity to weekly farmers' markets and seamless access to public transportation.
