Located on an extraordinary corner lot in Chicago’s prestigious Gold Coast neighborhood, this splendid mansion has been transformed into a 21st century home, with state-of-the-art infrastructure and meticulous architectural detail. With great care, this residence was designed with a garden terrace to the east and a charming central courtyard that infuses an abundance of natural light, not found in most homes in Chicago.
The moment you step into the foyer what surprises you most is the light and generosity of volume. The wide and spectacular gallery spans the floor east to west giving you an immediate sense of the expanse of the first floor. You are immediately captivated by the Estraillades limestone walls and complementary limestone flooring with absolute black granite borders. The breathtaking staircase was inspired by the grand staircase at the Musee Nissim de Comando in Paris. French empire sconces illuminate the entry area, while the gilded bronze table with Sienna marble top finishes it perfectly.
