A HOME THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

It is of another place and time–classically designed; formal and elegant. Yet, this is a home of incomparable beauty and comfort where families can grow and friends can gather.

It is a home that quietly and assuredly reveals itself to you, curve by curve, view by view, room by exquisite room. Reimagined and expanded, it has kept its integrity and flow, while bringing floor plans and systems up to state-of-the art levels.

IS IT CHICAGO OR EUROPE?

Open the gate and you are in a private, heated, blue and limestone courtyard reinvisioned by Hoerr Schaudt. Step into the foyer and you are surrounded by South American cherry wood floors, a softly curved gallery hall, and expansive views of the lushly planted center courtyard; the very heart of this home. With its contemporary casualness and perfect placement, it is this courtyard that offers up an abundance of natural light to virtually every room.

A MATTER OF BALANCE

At every turn, this home masterfully balances European essence with up-to-the minute contemporary, giving it an incomparable feel. To the right of the foyer, is the expansive library where you’ll find a wood-burning fireplace, cherry wood floors, exquisite cabinetry, and floor-to-ceiling French doors that open to the courtyard.

We hired the original architect Howard Holtzman, as we expanded, to keep the character we fell in love with.

Continue down the gallery hall with its softly rounded walls to the two-story dining room featuring distressed limestone floors, and soaring ceiling skylights. A balcony from the floor above overlooks this majestic room.

Explore the DeGiulio eat-in kitchen boasting a modern Italian design, with anagre wood from the Ivory Coast, Siematic cabinets, a huge stainless steel center island, a six-burner Viking range and griddle. Three sets of floor-to ceiling French doors lead out…once again… to the serenity of the courtyard.

Adjoining the kitchen is a large and comfortable family/entertainment room where you can kick off your shoes and turn up the jazz, entertain guests, or watch a movie the whole family loves.

EXCEPTIONAL SPACE ON EVERY LEVEL

Notice the steel tubular bannisters, a nod to the French 20’s. Ascend the gracious, open double staircase to be greeted by skylights offering a fifty foot expanse of natural light. Enter the grand second story living room; an inspired choice.

The serene master suite is placed on the loggia level. In the true Italian tradition, it opens out to a balustraded balcony overlooking the courtyard. No surprise that the luxurious bathroom includes a soaking tub and oversized steam shower. Be wowed by a closet that is a room
unto itself. Climb the private stairs that lead to an enchanting rooftop retreat for relaxing together and enjoying exquisite views of the city.

Designed with a growing family in mind, the third level has five children’s bedrooms and four full baths. There’s a study area, place for the kids to play, watch their favorite shows, and hang with friends.

The lowest level, finished in ceruse white oak paneling, features a huge media room, game arcade, fitness center, massage room, arts and crafts center.

Throughout, there are places to curl up and read. Spaces to party and play. Rooms from the majestic to the intimate that can be filled with silence or the familiar voices of friends.

Conjoining spaces were very important for us, so we could have a balance of privacy and togetherness.
