Rarely does an asset of this pedigree become available -a 1 of 1 Potter Palmer Greystone in the Astor Street Historic District. Restored under the guidance of renowned architectural historian Dr. Jon Ritter (NYU), this 5 bedroom 4.1 bathroom residence represents a museum-quality "stewardship" model of ownership. Meticulously preserved details from 1883 while comprehensively and painstakingly renovating everything else in 2018. Every interior door, trim, molding is the 1883 original, including the street's only hand-carved oak door, foyer mosaics, hand-carved staircase and original interior millwork. This property is a trophy for the collector who values 19th-century soul with a 21st-century brain. Included in the full renovation: all new electric, plumbing, lighting systems, 4-zone HVAC, roof, pressurized hotel-quality water/shower system for instant heat at every tap, centralized data hub for seamless 4-story Mesh Wi-Fi, Hunter Douglas Power View blinds on every window, high-performance Mon-Ray storm windows designed for absolute quiet that create an incredible acoustic buffer from the city (STC 40+). Experience a "10-minute bubble" of world-class amenities in this premier, car-optional location. Steps from the Lincoln Park Conservatory, Lakefront and Gold Coast/Michigan Ave shopping and dining. Effortless app-access valet parking in two neighboring garages provides white-glove convenience rarely found in historic Chicago. Amazing opportunity to live in a stabilized, historically significant residence designed for zero-headache modern living.
