An Astor Street Landmark

Astor Street is the spine of Chicago's Gold Coast, and this is one of its defining houses. Designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw for the Goodman family, it is offered for the first time in forty years.

The neoclassical and Georgian Revival facade runs eighty feet across a lot of nearly a third of an acre, an extraordinary width for the street. At its heart is a private courtyard of formal gardens and fountains, a quiet that feels far from the city around it.

The main residence alone exceeds 10,000 square feet, with thirteen-foot ceilings, Venetian plaster, oak floors, original marble fireplaces and a grand curved staircase. There are five en suite bedrooms, the primary with views to the lake. Today the property combines an owner's residence with leased residences, and it can be returned to a single grand home.
