Description

For your most discerning buyers, this extraordinary home was fully restored by one of Chicago's most acclaimed interior designers and further enhanced and improved by the current owner, also a notable figure in the design world. The historic Lohr Park mansion was divided into two stunning residences several decades ago, and this half of the property includes many of its most spectacular features, including the spacious, covered brick terrace that overlooks the grounds of the mansion and leads to the entry of the home. The stunning entry hall is your next introduction to this one-of-a-kind property, with its soaring double-height ceilings, detailed plaster work, huge windows and original millwork. The entry hall has been fully restored to its original beauty while being modernized in the most subtle and thoughtful ways with the addition of a stunning marble checkerboard floor, custom floor to ceiling window treatments, and a creamy wool runner gracing the beautiful staircase. The current owner uses this lovely room as the formal dining area as well as being a showcase for her beautiful art. To the west of the entry, the oversized living room is a very special gathering space with custom herringbone wood flooring, original sconces, and a beautiful tiled fireplace that adds a special warmth to the lovely room (there are a total of 5 fireplaces in the home). French doors from the living room lead to the charming and gracious garden room that overlooks the beautiful grounds and terrace. It is a complete delight with lacquered walls and French doors to the terrace surrounding the room. The next delight is the paneled library/family room that was once used at the dining room but is too beautiful to save for special occasions! Original millwork and leaded glass bookcases, along with a secret bar, make this one of the home's most special rooms to relax and gather with family and friends. Across from the library is the oft-photographed designer kitchen which is flooded with light and features slabs of Calacatta Viola marble, La Cornue range, custom cabinetry with generous storage, and a coffee bar pantry next to the built-in refrigerator. The breakfast sunroom off the kitchen is the perfect spot for informal dining or a morning coffee. Back in the entry hall, the architectural center staircase leads to the second floor and it's spacious gallery landing, which features the same high ceilings, large windows, detailed plaster work, and attention to quality and detail as the first floor. The grand primary suite has a spacious walk-in-closet and stunning designer bath with double sinks and glass shower. The bedroom itself is very spacious with a French door leading to a private balcony and exquisite window treatments throughout the room (and the entire home). Also on this level are the 2nd and 3rd bedroom suites, both with lovely updated white marble baths, and a private office. A separate room with laundry hookup is also on the 2nd floor. The lower level offers even more beautiful space with its high ceilings, copious natural light and separate exterior entrance. It currently features a recreation room, kitchenette and full bath, 2nd laundry room, exercise area, and plentiful space for additional bedrooms, play areas and storage. The landscaping and gardens surrounding the home have been expanded and enhanced by the current owner. There is nothing to do but move in and enjoy this extraordinary home in its spectacular setting and walk-to-everything location.
