An extraordinary opportunity to own a fully reimagined historic mansion in the heart of Chicago’s coveted Gold Coast. This rare, turnkey residence is ideal for a private owner seeking effortless luxury or an investor looking to expand a portfolio of short-term or AirBnB rentals. Originally crafted in 1887 by renowned architect John Wellborn Root, this timeless stone-and-brick villa blends rich architectural character with refined modern living-all just steps from the lake. Set on an oversized 24x130 lot, the home has undergone a comprehensive renovation, including a new roof, and offers more than 6,000 square feet across four beautifully finished levels.

The sweeping staircase leads to a lavish primary suite with a fireplace, tray ceiling, hardwood floors, and a spa-caliber bath complete with its own fireplace, steam shower, freestanding soaking tub, and dual vanities. A massive custom walk-in closet completes the retreat. A gracious second ensuite bedroom completes the level. The top floor offers two additional bedrooms and a cozy sitting room with a fireplace that opens to a spacious private rooftop deck. The lower level includes two more ensuite bedrooms and convenient access to the rare attached three-car garage. With six ensuite bedrooms, five and a half baths, impeccable finishes, and thoughtful updates throughout, this historic home delivers exceptional comfort, versatility, and craftsmanship.
