THIS FRENCH PROVINCIAL RESIDENCE "EST MAGNIFIQUE", HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER PROPERTIES IN THE JACKSON PARK HIGHLANDS FOR NEARLY A CENTURY. BUILT IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY BY ARCHITECT J.A. CARLSON; THIS SOLID LIMESTONE STRUCTURE FEATURES WOOD-BEAMED CATHEDRAL CEILINGS COMPLETE WITH CARVED CORBELS (IN THE GRAND FOYER AND LIVING ROOM). ZINC FRENCH WINDOWS THROUGHOUT THE RESIDENCE SPEAK OF THE UNSURPASSED QUALITY IN THE MINDSET OF THE ARCHITECT, COMBINED WITH CUSTOM WALNUT FLOORING THROUGHOUT THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS AND MANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT ARCHITECTURAL APPOINTMENTS. THE THREE ARCHES LEADING INTO THE LIVING ROOM ARE LIMESTONE, WHICH ONLY COMPETE WITH THE EXTRAORDINARY ORNATE FLOOR-TO-CEILING FIREPLACE. THE FORMAL DINING ROOM HAS FRENCH DOORS WHICH LEAD TO THE AWARD-WINNING GARDEN AND REAR YARD SPANNING 45'x45'. THE KITCHEN WITH A SEPARATE EATING AREA HAS BEEN THOUGHTFULLY AND TASTEFULLY REMODELED WITH 21ST CENTURY ENTERTAINING IN MIND; THIS ENTIRELY WHITE AND SLEEK SPACE FEATURES STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES, QUARTZ COUNTER TOPS AND MORE THAN AMPLE CUPBOARD SPACE. THE STAIRWELL LEADING TO THE SECOND LEVEL CONCLUDES AS AN OVERLOOK TO THE TWO-STORY FOYER AND ART GALLERY. THE SECOND FLOOR FEATURES THREE SPACIOUS BEDROOMS AND TWO FULL BATHROOMS, ONE FEATURING LUSCIOUS HUES OF GREEN AND RED ONYX AND THE SECOND GOLD AND BLACK GRANITE. THE THIRD BEDROOM IS THE PRIVATE AND EN-SUITE PRIMARY. THE THIRD LEVEL OF THE HOME IS FINISHEDAND COMPLETELY UNOBSTRUCTED: THIS SPACE COULD FUNCTION AS A BEDROOM, OFFICE, LIBRARY OR AN ENTERTAINMENT-MEDIA-GAME ROOM. THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE HOME WITH ITS TALL CEILING HEIGHTS HAS YET ANOTHER EXCEPTIONAL CARVED LIMESTONE FIREPLACE AND LENDS ITSELF TO BECOMING A DEN, ADDITIONAL BEDROOM AND ANYTHING YOU MIGHT IMAGINE. THE POSSIBILITIES AND YOUR CHOICES ARE ENDLESS IN THIS MAGNIFICENT RESIDENCE.
