Chicago is full of all sorts of beautiful homes. From the suburban houses so famously loved by John Hughes to charming converted two-flats to gorgeous condos, in Chicagoland, there is a home for every buyer – and every budget.
And some budgets are… jaw-dropping.
For every adorable single family home or quirky fixer-upper, Chicago is also host to some of the most extravagant and elegant properties in the country. Let’s take a look at a few!
At the time of writing, these astonishing places were three of the most expensive listings in Chicago:
3.) 1823 N. Howe St, $13.9 million
One of the more prestigious streets in the city, Howe Street is home to some incredible properties. This structure – which is coming soon from Environs Development – seems like it will be a worthy addition to their ranks.
Boasting a 75 foot wide triple lot, 14,000 square feet, an attached seven-car heated garage, and a penthouse roofdeck with panoramic views of the city, this property is currently listed for $13,995,000.
2.) 924 N. Clark St, $15 million
This Gold Coast prairie substation – with a listing price of $15 million – boasts 15,000 square feet, including six beds, 6.3 baths, two kitchens, and a wine cellar. The home also includes its own private gatehouse and four-car garage.
Though a 1916 classic, the property has gone green, with a solar-heated pool, a greenhouse, and geothermal heating and cooling.
1.) 1516 N. Lake Shore Drive, $17 million
What can we say about this property that the location – and price tag – doesn’t already tell you? Located in the world-famous Lake Shore Drive district, this French Chateau-inspired mansion features 12,000 square feet of available living space along with a 2,400 square foot coach house.
With its incredible views of Lake Michigan and its great location near Lincoln Park and the Magnificent Mile, the property would already be remarkable; add in its intricate mill work, stained glass windows, and grand marble staircase, and this $17 million gem becomes a treasure of the Chicago real estate scene.
