In Chicago's coveted Gold Coast historic district, Elm Street is considered a premier block for distinctive row houses and greystones. Off Lake Shore Drive and a short walk to some of Chicago's best schools, shops, and restaurants, it's a dream location for an enjoyable urban lifestyle. At home at 55 E Elm, you will find the elegance of 19th century architecture reimagined for the way we live today. Painstakingly restored and meticulously maintained through the years, the most recent renovation features a modern 20-foot long eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry and a contiguous lush deck, one of two outdoor spaces. Offering natural light from skylights, French paned doors and windows, and charming bays, the 4,200/SF home is warm and inviting. There are three large en-suite bedrooms and a fourth bedroom or office in the built-out lower level, a library with French doors opening to a second deck, and a dining room that lives well as a family room. Garage parking options in the neighborhood. Lighting exclusions
