If there was a master class in how to transform an architecturally significant home through creative reinvention with a fearless celebration of incredible design, 320 Melrose would win the prize, along with a second for the newly finished matching jewel box coach house. Take the elevator to each floor to experience the newly elevated level of posh luxury as every inch of this home was revamped with all new over-the-top baths, new 3rd floor bedroom suite with playroom, 2 new office spaces & jaw-dropping in-law suite above the new heated 2 car garage complete with its own W/D. Reimagined with vibrant colors, custom lighting, dramatic wallpapers, hand-chosen tiles from world travels & designer fabrics ranging from Missoni Home to Schumacher, this home is a fearless celebration of style. Ann Sacks, Jonathan Adler, and Pierre Frey highlight the original character preserved with detailed millwork, intricate moldings, leaded glass windows, oversized entryways, and a breathtaking statement staircase anchoring the center of the home. Basket weave marble foyer floors lead to formal rooms flooded with natural light including a solarium-like office with skylights, stoic living room with restored beams, built-ins & FP, and oversized dining room opening to the magnificent great room that serves as the social centerpiece of the home. Sun-drenched family room with artisan tile surround FP flows into the Chef's kitchen with massive quartzite island, Wolf & SubZero appliances, Holly Hunt pendants & entire wall of windows overlooking the professionally designed outdoor entertaining spaces. French doors lead to a private terrace deck, hardscape patio, fire pit gathering circle & multiple lounging/dining areas. Richly appointed scullery wrapped in dark dramatic finishes is tucked next to the prettiest Pierre Frey powder room, while secondary staircase leads to mudroom & walk-in pantry area. Feel the beauty of George Maher's iconic architecture as you walk up the wide staircase with intricate spindles and classic landing with leaded glass windows overlooking Melrose St. The 2nd floor has been completely reworked to feature 4 beds & 3 new baths, including a serene boutique hotel-like primary suite with separate office/lounge space, dreamy wallpaper & fabrics, his/her walk-in closets & all white Carrera marble spa bath with soaking tub, oversized shower & separate water closet. Newly finished 3rd floor includes a fabulous guest suite outfitted in shades of green with tiled bath plus bright play-space with dormed skylights creating the ultimate tree house escape. Fully dug-out lower level with 9-foot ceilings includes chic rec space with Missoni carpeting, fitness room, Polo Navy painted walk-in wine room, powder room & huge storage/pantry area. Completing this designer stunner is the newly finished coach house above the heated garage featuring a Soho-inspired 1 bedroom guest suite with full kitchen, turquoise accented island, custom lighting & luxe bath. Perfectly positioned steps from Sears School, New Trier High School, Kenilworth beach, train, and Plaza del Lago where Hermes opens this summer. If turn-key designer perfection is what you are looking for in A+ East Kenilworth, then you have found it here!
