Set in a distinguished elevator building on iconic Astor Street, this updated residence pairs classic Gold Coast architecture with a refined, highly functional interior. A 30-foot gallery with paneled walls and hardwood floors creates an impressive sense of arrival, while ten-foot ceilings, original millwork and natural light from south and east exposures bring warmth and character throughout. Thoughtfully chosen designer lighting throughout the home complements its original architectural details. The formal living room's windowed rotunda overlooks tree-lined Division Street toward the lake, and a fireplace framed by built-in cabinetry anchors the space. The generously sized dining room seats up to eight, with three original sets of pocket doors that open it to the adjoining rooms for entertaining or close it for more intimate gatherings. A separate family room, also with a fireplace, offers a comfortable setting for everyday living. The renovated white kitchen pairs classic cabinetry with extensive quartzite counter space and Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances. The adjoining butler's pantry provides a second sink, wine cooler, and refrigerator and freezer drawers. Together, the kitchen and pantry make it easy to prepare meals and serve guests while keeping the main living spaces connected. The private bedroom wing includes three bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. The spacious primary suite features a bay window with a built-in seat, a walk-in closet and a renovated bath with quartzite countertops. A library with a fireplace offers flexibility as an office, den or fourth bedroom. Since purchasing the home in 2018, the sellers have invested more than $200,000 in updates, including renovations to the kitchen and primary bathroom, paint, window treatments and lighting. Just steps from the lakefront and neighborhood parks, the home puts the Gold Coast's celebrated dining and shopping within easy reach.
