Built in 1969

Set on one of the city's most desirable blocks with unobstructed views of the Cardinal's mansion and Lincoln Park, 1524 N. Astor was designed by Chicago architect, I. W. Colburn. Two renowned Chicago firms - Marvin Herman & Associates and Suzanne Lovell Inc. - completed a 5-year, spare no expense redesign for the current owner. Today, this home offers approximately 6,500 sqft of sophisticated living space, three private outdoor venues, and garage parking for two cars. The Art Deco-inspired interior has superior quality finishes: stained, quartersawn white oak floors with a metal inlay, custom millwork and cabinetry, hand-cast plaster moldings, artisan fabricated bronze and steel balusters, custom paint by Donald Kaufman, vellum wall coverings, and so much more. The main level includes living and dining rooms, a spectacular, highly upgraded eat-in kitchen, and a den/office. The upper level consists of an opulent primary suite, a 2nd en suite bedroom, and a family room/3rd bedroom suite. In addition to the elegant foyer, the entry-level includes a spacious home office/guest suite, laundry center, and wine room. The garden, koi pond, and terraces were professionally landscaped by award-winning Scott Byron & Co. This exceptional home is for the buyer who expects the very best!
