1318 N ASTOR Street Chicago IL 60610 MLS #MRD12482415

Few addresses in Chicago hold the prestige of Astor Street, and this single-family newly renovated FURNISHED ONLY greystone delivers in every way. Set in the heart of the Gold Coast, the home’s stately Romanesque facade, designed in the style of American architect Charles M. Palmer, rises behind mature trees, a wrought-iron fence, and timeless curb appeal. Spanning nearly 7,500 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 7 baths (5 full, 2 half), the residence marries historic character with modern style, luxury and sophistication. Every room is appointed with designer and highly coveted collector pieces. A grand entry hall with marble floors, crown molding, and soaring ceilings sets the stage. The first level offers a handsome formal library/office with fireplace, billiards room with fireplace, powder room, mudroom with laundry, and heated two-car garage. On the main level, spaces for entertaining unfold with ease: a formal living room with fireplace, dramatic double-height dining room, and a commercial chef’s kitchen featuring top-tier appliances like the new 48″ glass-front Sub-Zero refrigerator and 10-burner gas range with pot filler. The adjoining butler’s pantry leads to a striking breakfast room with coffee station and bar tucked into chic metal PLATE cabinetry by Reform and knock-out monumental abstract art by Tom Lieber. Adjacent is a light-filled family room with fireplace that opens to the first of two private outdoor retreats — a heated terrace with dining area, pergola, and professional landscaping. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms complement a full-floor primary suite with fireplace, three walk-in closets, an expansive dressing room/office with skylight, spa-like bath with dual vanities and steam shower, heated floors, soaking tub, and a second terrace. The lower level extends the living space with a rare guest/nanny/in-law suite (or media room), and laundry/storage with private entrance. Additional highlights include an elevator, dual show-stopping staircases, designer lighting by Ingo Maurer and others, and an automatic sprinkler system serving the front yard and both terraces. All this, just steps from the lakefront, Mag Mile, world-class dining, shopping, and the city’s top schools. 1318 Astor is a historic residence of rare style and every modern indulgence.
