Best value! Stately, sophisticated, and truly one of a kind - this oversized 33 x 149 ft estate sits in the heart of prime Old Town, offering the scale and presence rarely found this close to both Old Town and the Gold Coast. Originally restored and thoughtfully reimagined in 2016, the home seamlessly blends historic architecture with modern livability. Most recently refreshed by Brianne Bishop Design in 2024, it now reflects a refined, elevated aesthetic while preserving its original masonry and timeless character. Spanning approximately 9,200 square feet (including guest and in-law residences), the mansion showcases soaring 12-foot ceilings, intricate millwork, 8-foot birch pocket doors, and five fully functional marble-clad fireplaces. A four-stop elevator adding both convenience and distinction. The main living floor is designed for grand-scale entertaining and everyday comfort alike - featuring an elegant formal living room, expansive family room, richly paneled dining room with original built-ins, and a brand-new custom kitchen anchored by a 12-foot island and outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. Five generously sized bedrooms include a full-floor primary retreat, complemented by four full and two half baths. Whole-house technology enhances modern living throughout. What truly sets this property apart: a rare two-bedroom, two-bath guest apartment, a spacious lower-level two-bedroom in-law suite, and a five-car brick garage - an extraordinary offering for this location. (Both secondary residences are currently leased.) Impeccably maintained and impeccably designed, this is a remarkable opportunity and one of the best values in Old Town or the Gold Coast - a home that delivers architectural pedigree, modern luxury, and unmatched versatility.
