An exceptional opportunity to own a significant piece of Chicago's architectural history. This landmark single-family rowhome, designed by John Wellborn Root of Burnham & Root and once his personal residence, offers over 4,000 square feet across four levels, and a full basement. Set within a distinguished tree-lined Gold Coast block, this five-bedroom plus den, three-and-a-half bath home features generous room sizes, beautifully detailed ceilings, and two marble fireplaces. Bay windows and a central skylight fill the home with natural light. Multiple staircases, a deck off the kitchen and a rooftop ready to build out another one. Valet rental parking available next door. The property has been thoughtfully prepared for renovation, with new space for expansive kitchens and bathrooms, and accommodating a wide variety of traditional, modern, and contemporary design approaches. Architectural work by Vinci | Hamp Architects preserves its important historical significance while offering a foundation for refinement. A unique gem in one of Chicago's most prestigious neighborhoods.
