1515 N. State Pkwy is an historic home, beautifully renovated to meet the needs of today's lifestyle. This 9,680-square-foot home has 6 bedrooms/7 baths and is located on an oversized parcel on one of the Gold Coast's most prestigious residential blocks. The Italianate limestone beaux-art building ...was designed and built in 1897 by noted architect Frederick Perkins and has undergone a comprehensive, architect-designed renovation. The exterior was completely upgraded with new mahogany insulated glass windows and refined gardens and landscaping. Inside, the home's elegant materials and paneled walls are integrated with modern technology, including Savant A/V with built-in speakers, Lutron controls, programmable thermostats, a state-of-the-art security system, and wired Ethernet in every room. Gracious spaces like the foyer, living room, library and billiards room strike the perfect balance between old and new. The owners imported unique architectural elements from Europe including carved French fireplace mantels, antique flooring, lighting fixtures, hand-crafted door hardware, and carved panels from an 1800's Swiss hunting lodge. These warm details are complemented by modern light fixtures and designer wallcoverings from Brunschwig & Fils, Scalamandre, and Schumacher. The gourmet "chef's kitchen" emulates a casual country French kitchen. Here, the huge island is crafted from rich chestnut, the reclaimed 2" thick stone flooring from France is more than 400 years old, and the wood-burning fireplace in the breakfast room was brought in from Provence. Yet it has all the best professional appliances including a La Cornue Chateau range, large SubZero refrigeration/freezer and drawer units, and two Bosch dishwashers. The kitchen boasts two walk-in pantries, a breakfast room, and opens to a limestone courtyard with a fountain surrounded by green landscaping. The home is perfect for both everyday living and upscale entertaining, with a comfortable family room that doubles as a surround-sound media room, a stunning yet cozy wood-paneled living room and library, and a formal dining room with original paneling and a proper butler's pantry. The spacious master suite has fully-paneled walls, an antique fireplace, a well-appointed walk-in closet and custom dressing room, and a luxe bath. This is a home for modern living with an office, a bedroom used as a sun-filled craft room with fireplace and custom built-ins, a 900+-bottle wine room, and an exercise room. Outdoor spaces are everywhere, including the first floor courtyard, a large second-floor garden terrace under a towering hornbeam tree, a balcony off the living room, and a private balcony off the craft room. Attention was paid to every detail, including classical moldings, seven total fireplaces, state-of-the-art mechanicals, an all-floors elevator, an embedded sprinkler system, and an attached one-car garage. The location is superb; a half-block from Lincoln Park, two blocks from the Lake, and walking distance to two farmers' markets and endless first-class shopping and dining. 1515 N. State Pkwy. is sophisticated and comfortable living at its very finest.
