Unit 1B at 73 East Elm is a rare Maisonette set in a landmark McNally & Quinn pre-war high rise constructed in 1928 and positioned on one of the Gold Coast's most gracious tree-lined streets. This home's distinguished vintage character is evident in the original details preserved through a complete gut renovation completed in 2024: parquet hardwood floors original to the 1920, original wooden doors, including two sets of French doors, original hardware, arched ceilings and doorways, true plaster walls, and living room crown moldings executed by old-world craftsmen that a century of Chicago construction has not reproduced again in this form. The unit has not been occupied since the renovation was completed. Against that backdrop, the renovation introduced everything new. The kitchen features new marble countertops and handcrafted custom kitchen cabinetry with open upper-shelf design, thus preserving the room's original proportion and keeping the space visually open. A European-style gas range and full suite of appliances (unused since installation) complete this exquisite kitchen. The living and dining areas flow together across original parquet floors while the north-facing new windows overlooking Elm Street deliver the kind of steady, indirect light that architects and designers actively seek. Graciously sized, the primary bedroom enjoys multiple closet spaces and a brand-new full bath with bidet and marble surround. A second bedroom located off the kitchen can easily accommodate guests or serve as the perfect in-home office. The home was completely rewired during the renovation, and a new air conditioner was installed at that time. Living on the first floor carries its own advantages in a building of this scale: no elevator required, immediate access to the doorstaff just steps away, and a direct visual connection to the street showcasing the trees in summer and the quiet rhythm of the neighborhood through the seasons. Idyllically located in the heart of the Gold Coast, this home is just a half a block from Lake Michigan and Lake Shore Drive, half a block to the restaurants and night life on State Street, a few blocks from world class shopping on Oak Street and Michigan Avenue. Close to CTA buses and trains. Ogden Elementary. Lincoln Park High School.

A rare piece of Chicago's history, the Thompson House at 915 N. Dearborn stands as one of the Gold Coast's original architectural treasures. Designed in 1888 by Cobb & Frost, the renowned architects behind the Newberry Library and University of Chicago, this grand residence was among the first to define the Gold Coast neighborhood after the Great Chicago Fire. For the next century, it was owned and used by the Scottish Rite. The property was meticulously restored by its current owner beginning in 2009, blending 19th-century grandeur with modern luxury. The Thompson House is now a nationally registered Historic Landmark. This masterpiece preserves its rich past while offering a remarkably livable floor plan where history, elegance, and everyday comfort coexist effortlessly.

This home showcases exceptional craftsmanship with one-of-a-kind finishes and details throughout. Some of the elements include a refurbished original mosaic floor, custom millwork, hand-carved marble fireplaces from Italy, and custom stained glass. Throughout the home, all wood features, including beams, doors, and trim, are custom made from solid Honduras Mahogany, with intricate touches such as paneling and carving. The staircase, also Honduras Mahogany, was hand crafted to mimic the home's original balusters. Modern features include an elevator servicing all levels, a Control4 system, integrated audio and speaker systems, smart HVAC controls, and full smart home capabilities, making this home as functional as it is beautiful. Enter the home to a large parlor paneled in mahogany. The details greet you right away - hand carved columns, custom stained glass windows and doors, marble floors imported from Turkey, and a hand carved marble fireplace. The adjacent great room is full of natural light from the large, curved windows and south and west exposures. The great room has earned its name sake with a Swarovski crystal chandelier, a hand-carved, book-matched onyx fireplace from Pakistan, and exquisite mahogany woodwork with in-wall cabinetry.
