24 E Division ST Chicago, IL 60610

Exquisite and historic, 24 Division is a rare, prized property in Chicago's most coveted neighborhoods, the Gold Coast. With over 4,000 sq.ft. on a 21x119 lot, Idyllically located just steps from the lake, this magnificent treasure was originally built in 1885 and reimagined by Martial Desprin, a French architect, who is a master in modernizing historic homes. The owners have traveled the world and collected unique pieces that have been integrated into this home. Starting with the restored majestic facade, as you enter the home, you will find unique features that have a story and makes this home truly one of a kind; rooms paneled with teak from an old British club in Yangon, built-in armoires made of doors salvaged in China, exposed brick from removing most of a wall to enlarge rooms, and a surface that at one end is a kitchen counter and at the other is a step out to one of several terraces. A mix of old and new is evident in the staircases and fireplaces - a mix of a modern, limestone fireplace mantel and the other with intricate vintage detailing. Every level of this home is accessible to the outdoors including a 37 X 19 rooftop terrace that offers the ultimate privacy along with a stunning view of the city. Lush trees, built in planter boxes filled with Pines and a quaking Aspen - you will feel that you have escaped the city and have your own private tree house sanctuary. Seamlessly integrated, this classic 4 story home lives as a single-family home OR can be used as a 2 unit residence. A two-car attached garage makes this a perfect home. This is a very distinctive, striking, one-of-a-kind residence - Live in a piece of art at 24 Division.
