This extraordinary mansion on an extra-deep double lot in the heart of the Gold Coast is a true gem. Designed by renowned Chicago architect A.M.F. Colton in 1883, it reflects the classic elegance that defines this landmark neighborhood.

The home was substantially renovated by LG Development in 2011. The goal was to preserve the homes original architectural character and irreplaceable craftsmanship while bringing the floor plan and systems up to 21st century standards. The result is an architectural masterpiece that is also extremely livable. The home was the recipient of the 2015 Gold Coast House Beautiful Award and has been featured in articles by Modern Luxury and Traditional Home.
