Chicago Architecturally Significant Thomas and Rapp Architecture

Sold

Chicago is a proud city and the entire nation can take pride in Chicago architecture. In a city of stunning architecturally significant skyscrapers, refined architectural ornamentation, and a wealth of museums, it is no surprise to find one of the nation’s most palatial Beaux Arts mansions in the heart of Chicago. Designed by Thomas & Rapp, this prestigious estate is situated on three full lots on Chicago’s historic Astor Street on the Gold Coast.

The 20,000 square foot main house has been painstakingly restored and includes a formal dining room that overlooks Astor Street, with an adjoining library, ballroom, 13 fireplaces, vast reception foyer and sweeping grand staircase embellishing the gracious lifestyle of the 19th century.

On the garden level there is a media room, wine cellar, laundry area and spa designed in the style of a Roman bath with meditation room and a glass mosaic pool with a gold leaf dome replicating a Faberge egg. In addition, there is a four-room coach house apartment and 5+ car elevator lift garage, plus two additional parking spaces and secure private courtyard.

Award-Winning Realtor Douglas Newby

Douglas Newby knows the potential inventory of architecturally significant homes and the nuances of neighborhoods in Highland Park better than any real estate agent in Dallas. Understanding inventory is more than relying on MLS or “hip pockets.” It is approaching the market as if every home in Dallas is for sale. When a buyer looks for a home from that perspective, they are not constrained by a random slice of what is presently on the market or hoping something better will magically come on the market. A traditional approach leaves economics and aesthetics to chance. For decades Douglas Newby has identified architecturally significant homes and helped clients select neighborhoods in good locations that make them happy. Douglas Newby consistently sells his listings for a higher price than other agents obtain for their statistically similar listings because of his experience, knowledge of the neighborhoods, and his understanding of the nuances and merits of the homes he is selling.
