About This Property
When the owners of this magnificent house at the corner of 57th St.
and Woodlawn Avenue first saw it, they were immediately captivated
by its handsome simplicity. Built in 1902 by architects Borst and
Hetherington, the house has many beautiful period elements
representative of Old World craftmanship, which the owners realized
could be seamlessly integrated into new world aesthetics and
conveniences. Working with a noted Chicago architect, the
owners spent a year building an addition and carefully restoring
the vintage features of the house. Their first priority was
to create a new kitchen, breakfast room and family room, where the
family could cook and relax together. This space, the scale of
which complements the rest of the main floor, features lighted
Bulthaup cabinets, 35 feet of workable counter space in Scoon
Extreme limestone and soapstone, full size separate Sub-Zero
refrigerator and freezer, two Miele dishwashers, two warming trays,
a Wolf double oven and 6 burner range, a pot filler, two appliance
garages, a full size wine fridge and more than 60 drawers and
cabinets. Thoughtfully designed work spaces have easy access
to the ingredients, utensils, cookware and appliances appropriate
to the task at hand. The entire space is surrounded by windows and
doors for seamless indoor/outdoor dining and entertaining. For more
formal occasions, the owners use the adjoining oval-shaped dining
room, which is graced with gorgeous leaded glass windows and an
original built-in buffet. To accommodate large casual
gatherings, the owners excavated below the new kitchen to create a
media room, one of several recreational rooms on the lower level,
which also has a fully equipped gym. Set off for privacy, the
master bedroom suite occupies the west wing of the second floor.
It has a decorative fireplace, walk-in closet and spa-like
bathroom with double steam shower, deep soaking tub, separate
vanities and bidet. There is also a large office cum sitting
area on this level with a wet bar and fridge and access to a
balcony that overlooks the professionally landscaped grounds.
At the east end of this floor, a bedroom and full bathroom
with direct access to a rear staircase have served as guest
quarters. The top floor has three exceptionally large bedrooms,
laundry room, full bathroom and half bathroom. For a high
performance house, the owners replaced the electrical and plumbing
and created four smart HVAC zones with 2017 Lennox furnaces/central
A/C for optimal comfort and control. Built-in speakers supply
the entire first floor and outside deck with music. The coach house
has three heated parking spaces above which there is a renovated
two bedroom apartment that has been continuously rented out.
A fourth parking space can be accessed separately. The
grounds have been artfully landscaped with hardscape, irrigation
systems and lighting, the final touch in creating a marvelous urban
estate that melds the best of old and new. To view video and
