Nestled among luxurious historic homes, the first being completed in 1894 by architect George Maher within the Hutchinson Street District near Chicago's lakefront, this home is a once in a lifetime opportunity! On a 40' x 170' lot, the huge front porch welcomes you into this stately Prairie Style home. Lofty ceilings and rich hardwood floors invite you to an amazing floor plan. As you enter you are greeted with a large foyer that is spacious enough for a sitting vignette next to the one of four fireplaces. The gracious living room with a wood burning fireplace is timeless and adaptable for both intimate and large gatherings. The formal dining room off of the living room is pure elegance. Pocket doors separating the living room, paneled walls and beamed ceiling, and swinging door to the butler's pantry, make this home an entertainer's dream. Custom cabinetry and butler's pantry with an abundance of organizational features makes this kitchen unique. New ovens and an oversized Jenn-Air refrigerator surround a spacious island. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee in the bright breakfast room that looks out onto a large deck and backyard. This home's exquisite staircase takes you to the second level where you are greeted by an open hallway to the primary bedroom suite, two secondary bedrooms, an office and two spa baths. The master bedroom is one of a kind with classic sconces on either side of the fireplace. Step into a massive walk-in closet that has custom organization. The third floor has countless opportunities for use of space. It offers an additional fourth bedroom and bath plus a family room which can be a potential fifth bedroom. The huge lower level has a storage room, workshop/garden room, laundry and recreation areas. An elongated private driveway takes you past the backyard of your dreams ending in a two car garage. New garage doors arrive soon. A mere two blocks from the lake and Lake Shore Drive, the home offers suburban luxury with urban convenience. It is a rare find for those of refined sensibilities and lovers of classic Chicago Prairie Style architecture.
