    Meticulously renovated with no expense spared, this magnificent 5-story freestanding Greystone on an oversized lot on one of the Gold Coast's most coveted blocks couples the grandeur of its original design with the functionality of modern living, creating a timeless masterpiece to enjoy for years to come. Centered around a breathtaking architectural staircase naturally lit from above by a showstopping glass and onyx dome, the 7600-square foot freestanding home is filled with an abundance of original beautifully-preserved details and an exciting array of new millwork, stones, wood, and glass. A grand double foyer leads to a living room, formal dining room, commercial chef's kitchen, family room with built-ins, and a glorious one-of-a-kind solarium which opens to outdoor terraces. The primary suite comprises the entire second level, with a sunlit sitting room with windows on all sides; dual bathrooms featuring bookmatched marble slabs, heated floors, and the finest fixtures; a glamorous walk-in designer closet with center valet, custom cabinets, additional washer/dryer, refrigerator; and a fabulous library w/fireplace and additional full bath. The third floor has 2 additional bedrooms suites and a huge family/game room w/kitchenette+bathroom. Landscaped and irrigated roof terraces off the dome presents the most romantic vistas of the Gold Coast and Downtown. Ideal for live-in, in-law suite, or guest quarters w/its own commercial kitchen, bath, and bedroom, the lower level adds flexibility and dimension to this amazing package. Ideally situated next to Latin School and just steps to the park and lake, this residence has a two car garage, dog wash station, 3 laundry stations, snow melt system encompassing the entire front and back walkways, and Savant home automation system. A spectacular offering!
