This spectacular custom home was just recently refreshed, updated, and redesigned to maximize functionality. With a bit of Paris, extravagant finishes and infrastructure, and over-the-top outdoor living and entertaining spaces, this rare custom house - created and built with no expense spared - on an enormous gated 38x132 lot offers something special and entirely different in the heart of Lincoln Park. The grand entry hall with an elegant open iron and leather-clad stairwell leads to a front salon with a stunning uplit goldleaf domed ceiling. An enormous chef's kitchen/great room with soaring ceilings, an adjacent commercial butler's kitchen for caterers, and walls of glass opens to successive outdoor spaces and terraces, including a spectacular pavilion suitable for yoga or movie nights with oscillating fans, heaters, and privacy walls. The second floor has three generous en-suite bedrooms, including a sumptuous primary suite with a spa bath and loads of storage. Top-floor is now used as an enormous barrel-vaulted penthouse recreation room flanked by two terraces, one of which has a retractable awning, hot tub, fireplace, and built-in grill. The bright lower level has an additional bedroom suite, a fabulous recreation/workout room leading directly to the lower terrace, and large utility room. Attached 2-car garage, more parking in drive for guests. Enjoy the serenity and security in this A+ Lincoln Park location. Simply spectacular!
