For the next couple of weeks we will be checking out some homes in the most expensive zip codes in the United Says, up this day, 60611 . This zip code is in Chicago, Illinois and encompasses costly Chicago’s Gold Coast area. This zip code has a median price of $1,954,000 with an appreciation rate of 236% since 1990.
Right now, the most pricey listings in this area belong to the Chicago Spire, the huge spiraled Santiago Calatrava masterpiece that will be the new defining piece in the Chicago skyline. The MLS is also sprinkled with some pricey listings for Trump’s Chicago offering. But for today’s estate I chose something a tiny older that talks to this area’s history. This duplex is part of a building built in 1913, designed by architect Benjamin Marshall and located on East Lake Shore Drive. The unit was bought as raw space by the current owners in 1998 and redesigned by architect Scott Himmel. The main level has a round entry foyer with curved stairway, massive living room with lake views, a separate dining room/library, family room, eat-in kitchen with breakfast room and butler’s pantry, and a separate laundry room. The upper level has three bedrooms including a master suite with a study, dressing rooms and a terrace over looking the lake. This home is listed at $5.6 million.
