Nestled in leafy East Lakeview is this iconic 5BR/4.1 BA Chicago Greystone on a massive 35 x 167 lot, with over 6,000 Sq. Ft. of finished living space. This home is essentially new construction inside of a vintage envelope. During its extensive 2013 renovation, no detail was overlooked, nor expense spared. Thoughtfulness, craftsmanship and innovation were at the fore. New windows were chosen to look like the originals, and woodwork was recreated to fit the time period, while the masonry was diligently maintained for authenticity. Stepping through the front door, a grand staircase greets you in charming foyer. Opening to a bright and airy south-facing formal living and dining room, the space is perfect for large scale entertaining and watching the seasons change on Sheridan Road from every window. The main living spaces flow beautifully into the chef's kitchen, which features custom cabinetry, marble countertops, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, an island with bar seating, and a butler's pantry with beverage and wine coolers. The back half of the main level is designed for fun and relaxation. Curl up with a movie or good book by the originally preserved fireplace, or read the morning news in the dining area surrounded by windows, or host a competitive game night with plenty of room to spread out. Above the attached 2.5 car garage is the rooftop deck, complete with water and electricity. Upstairs are 4BR's and 3BA's. The expansive primary bedroom suite is fully equipped with an oversized walk-in closet with the possibility for laundry hook-ups, and custom built-ins. The en suite primary bathroom has beautifully appointed tile, heated floors, dual vanity, and a walk-in shower. Three other bedrooms are well thought out and bathrooms are thoughtfully considered with great storage. Currently the 4th bedroom is used as a stunning library with wood paneled walls, and could easily be used as a bedroom. Downstairs the entire basement was dug down to add two feet of ceiling height. This rec room measures XX feet long, and offers a plethora of opportunities to be used as a movie theatre, bar area (plumbing has already been ran for this space), or an au paire/guest suite. Two additional bedrooms and one full bath complete the lower level. This location is the best of lakefront living! Steps to the Lake Shore Drive pedestrian underpass to the lakefront path, Sydney Marovitz Golf Course, tennis courts, Belmont and Montrose Harbors, and so much more. Multiple restaurants and neighborhood staples nearby such Good Times Brewery, El Mariachi, PR Italian Bistro, and The Bake House, plus endless options down Broadway. Jewel-Osco, Whole Foods, and soon-to-arrive Trader Joes are all within a half mile radius. Public transit is easy with the CTA Sheridan Red Line Station 3 blocks away, and Broadway, Irving Park, and Sheridan bus lines all within 1-2 blocks. Commuting downtown is easy via Lake Shore Drive at the end of the street. Plenty of school options nearby with Bernard Zell Anshe Emet, Greeley Elementary, Disney Magnet School, or a straight shot down Lake Shore Drive to Francis Parker and Latin School.
