Property Description

A rare private oasis in the heart of Andersonville, this extraordinary residence offers a level of resort-style living seldom found in Chicago. The expansive, beautifully landscaped backyard creates a secluded luxury retreat in the city, complete with a heated pool, spa, generous outdoor entertaining space, and a separate guest house for hosting friends or housing an au pair-an exceptional setting designed for stylish city living, along with a two-car garage.

A dramatic 15-foot Silverwave island anchors the space and creates an extraordinary centerpiece for gathering and entertaining. A custom appliance garage keeps everyday appliances elegantly concealed while preserving the kitchen's clean architectural lines. Throughout the home, hand-cut solid oak herringbone floors installed by European artisans reflect exceptional craftsmanship and are complemented by RH solid brass lighting fixtures throughout the home. A custom hand-bent hardwood staircase illuminated by a striking brass chandelier creates a dramatic architectural focal point, while elegant Silverwave stone details add refinement throughout the residence. The primary suite offers a serene spa-inspired retreat and includes, heated floors, a steam room with essential-oil infusion, a chromotherapy soaking tub, and a Japanese-style smart toilet with integrated bidet.
