Dramatic Gold Coast 5 bed/5.2 bath limestone end-unit row house at 1252 N State Parkway! This architecturally significant home was built in 1872 just after the Chicago fire by famed developer Potter Palmer and designed by architect David Adler. This impressive home offers 5000 sq. ft. over 4 levels plus a coach house apartment. It's modern layout is ideal for entertaining, while still showcasing many of its original details by paying homage to staircases, millwork, brass hardware, and marble fireplaces. The kitchen features professional grade Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, a spacious island with a prep sink, and additional wine and refrigeration drawers. Notable master suite, utilizing the entire third level, is lined by oversized bay windows overlooking the lush tree-lined street below and includes dual walk-in closets and dual en-suite baths. 4 levels are complemented by a 1-bedroom coach house attached via an indoor heated walkway that also leads you to your own heated 2 car garage! Plenty of outdoor space from the front balcony to the rear deck, plus an internal balcony that overlooks a private interior courtyard. On one of the best streets in the Gold Coast, only steps to the shopping and restaurants, the lakefront trail, and Lake Shore Drive.
