Some homes check the boxes. Others quietly raise the standard entirely. Welcome to 325 Ruby Street - a well-loved home where timeless craftsmanship, extraordinary outdoor living, and one of the most breathtaking lots in Clarendon Hills come together in a way that feels increasingly rare. From the very first approach, this home leaves an impression. Rustic Colorado-inspired architecture blends beautifully with refined suburban elegance - rough-hewn beams, beveled glass doors, towering spruce and pine trees, and mature landscaping create a setting that feels established, private, and deeply inviting. It is handsome in the truest sense of the word - and then you step inside. Designed for both gracious entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the floor plan flows beautifully with expansive room sizes, hardwood flooring, and the kind of thoughtful layout buyers are endlessly searching for. Formal living and dining spaces offer sophistication without feeling formal, while a privately positioned first-floor office creates the ideal work-from-home retreat. At the center of the home, an oversized gourmet kitchen with a massive island opens seamlessly to a welcoming family room anchored by a fireplace - the kind of space where people naturally gather and linger. Upstairs, the second floor unfolds with exceptional scale and comfort. A wide-open hallway offers space for a study nook or quiet reading area, while the serene primary suite feels like a retreat all its own - complete with sweeping views of the spectacular backyard, a walk-in closet, and a beautifully renovated spa-inspired bathroom featuring a soaking tub, oversized shower, and skylight with natural light pouring in. Three additional bedrooms include a guest suite that is larger than some city apartments, with dormers and window seats overlooking the front grounds plus two thoughtfully connected by a beautifully designed Jack-and-Jill bathroom. An ideally located second-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience. The third-floor fifth bedroom is extraordinary - expansive sunlit thanks to three skylights. The finished lower level is equally impressive: wide open; endlessly functional; designed for entertaining. A full bar area with sink; beverage refrigerator; dishwasher; abundant cabinetry sets the stage for gatherings large or small. A second fireplace with brick accent wall; exercise room; fourth full bathroom; substantial storage complete the space beautifully. Even the attached three-car heated garage has been elevated beyond expectation with epoxy flooring; slat-wall storage system; metal diamond wainscoting; exceptional organization throughout. Burthe true magic of 325 Ruby Street lies beyondthe back door. Set on an extraordinary fifty-foot by two hundred twenty-eight-foot lot,the grounds are simply unforgettablewith three levels of outdoor living space thereis plentyofroomforlarggatheringsto spreadout comfortably.

Chicago’s luxury property market has changed dramatically within the past decade – growing from a small, self-contained specialty, served by a handful of brokers, to a vast and highly competitive marketplace requiring an ever-increasing level of sophistication and reach.

Today, what drives success in the luxury market is not only a skilled and accomplished corps of agents, but also a comprehensive marketing strategy to brand individual listings and reach a relatively diverse audience.

That is why we offer the @Luxury Collection, a sales and marketing program that leverages @properties’ unmatched resources and relationships to meet the needs of Chicago’s luxury property owners. From new-construction in Lincoln Park to landmark mansions in the North Shore, from vintage high-rises along Lake Shore Drive to the newest generation of super-luxury towers, @properties has successfully marketed and sold hundreds of millions of dollars in high-end Chicago real estate.
