The 3-bedroom single-family residence with 6 bathrooms is located at 1524 N Astor Street, Gold Coast, Chicago, Illinois, 60610, United States. The northernmost home on Astor Street holds a commanding position with oversized windows overlooking the Cardinal’s Mansion and Lincoln Park, offering exceptional privacy and natural light that are rare within the city. Originally designed as a mid-century modern residence by noted Chicago architect I. W. Colburn, the home was later reimagined with a refined Art Deco-inspired interior by Marvin Herman & Associates and Suzanne Lovell Inc., with the exterior extensively renovated in 2025.
The fee simple residence, with 3 bedrooms and 4 full plus 2 half bathrooms, spans approximately 6,500 sq. ft. of beautifully finished living space across three levels. Interior finishes include bespoke millwork and cabinetry, hand-cast plaster mouldings, a dramatic curved staircase with artisan-fabricated bronze-and-steel balusters, three distinctive fireplaces, rift-sawn white oak floors with custom inlay, limestone and marble detailing, Donald Kaufman paint finishes, and vellum wall coverings. An elegant foyer with a walk-in coat closet, climate-controlled wine storage, and a guest bath with a hand-carved marble sink introduces the home, while the main living level features a living room with a wet bar, a separate dining room, a kitchen with custom cabinetry and a built-in banquette, and a private office with a white alabaster fireplace opening directly onto the terrace.
The property is priced at $5,995,000, at $922 per sq. ft. The residence sits on a 2,525 sqft lot with a total interior area of 6,500 sqft across three stories, with two-car garage parking. Built in 1969 with a major remodel in 2005, the property carries an annual tax of $128,607 and a tax assessed value of $5,000,010.
The top level houses a luxurious primary suite with a spa-calibre bath featuring a soaking tub carved from a single block of Noir St. Laurent marble with P.E. Guerin hardware, alongside a second en-suite bedroom and a family room with an additional full bath. Curved rear stairs lead to a private bedroom suite with its own independent entrance, featuring knotty pine panelling, a kitchenette, an en-suite bath, and French doors opening to a tranquil koi pond. The landscaping, designed by award-winning Scott Byron & Co., complements the expansive north-facing terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Ideally located near Lincoln Park, the lakefront, and downtown Chicago, this exceptional Gold Coast residence offers architectural pedigree, remarkable privacy, and extraordinary craftsmanship.
