On Astor Street, in the heart of the Gold Coast, stands one of Chicago's distinguished historic estates. Howard Van Doren Shaw designed it for the Goodman family, and it remains a defining example of Neoclassical and Georgian Revival architecture.
This residence is offered for the first time in 40 years. It includes more than 14,000 square feet of living space: the main residence, a private one-bedroom service apartment and a separate one-bedroom coach house that could become a four-car garage again.
The estate stretches 80 feet along Astor Street and centers on a private yard with formal gardens and fountains, reminiscent of the Italian countryside. Inside are 13-foot ceilings, Venetian plaster, intricate millwork, original marble fireplaces and a curved staircase.
There are five en-suite bedrooms. The primary suite looks toward Lake Michigan and has a bath finished in Italian marble.
