79 E Cedar Street

Chicago, IL 60611

About this property

Welcome to 79 East Cedar Street. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of significant scale and presence in the Gold Coast-one of Chicago's most vibrant and historic neighborhoods. In 1884 Bertha Palmer commissioned architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee of Silsbee and Kent to create a neo-Moorish masterpiece design to transcend the ordinary. This meticulously refurbished home weds traditional grandeur with modern innovations. With approximately 7,523 square feet, this house charms with its private, incomparable roof terrace holding court over lake and sky, showing dazzling vistas. A stately solarium crowns the house, giving panoramic views day and night across Chicago's skyline-a truly special all year retreat in the heart of the city. A Parisian-style elevator serves all floors. Living space includes four bedroom suites, five bathrooms, three kitchenettes, a theater room is perfect for cozy nights in, while a wine room, utility room and a two-car garage, complete the plan. Set on one of Chicago's most prestigious addresses, approaching the property, one is met with elegant stone steps, flower boxes, and statuary. Original latticework and wrought iron fences captivate the eye. Heated pavement in front of the home, as well as outside the garage, keeps the residence easily accessible year-round. This splendid, curated retreat offers privacy and style with comfort and function: a seamless blend of present, and future.
