A golden opportunity to live in this meticulously renovated residence that exemplifies a bygone era of Old-World elegance and glamour. Originally built in 1915 by architect Robert C. Berlin, 819 Castlewood Terrace seamlessly integrates architecturally significant details with modern touches for a highly refined lifestyle. The home's previous owners commissioned regarded architect and interior designer John Regas and worked alongside him in reimagining and renovating the home to the studs. The multi-year project, completed in 2013, produced a warm, sophisticated dwelling offering high ceilings, clean lines, abundant, natural light, Brazilian hardwood floors, eight-foot, solid-core doors, three, ensuite bedrooms, two powder rooms and tasteful appointments across all three levels. The main level is an expansive, light-filled showstopper with windows across every exposure. Sunlight pours in through walls of windows, welcomed by the freshly painted main and second levels, connecting the home's interior to the pretty, outdoor surrounds. An entertainer's dream. The chef's kitchen with custom Christiana cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, other high-end stainless-steel appliances and full-slab granite backsplash and counters anchors the back of the home. The primary suite is designed as a private oasis, occupying the entire second level and featuring an office/study, large sleeping quarters, a walk-in closet with furniture-quality shelving and a spa-like bathroom. The home is equipped with the latest bells and whistles for temperature control, window-treatment adjustment, audio-visual enjoyment and security. The exterior is equally masterful with professionally landscaped perennial gardens surrounding the home that bloom seasonally and are outfitted with soaking hoses and irrigation to minimize care. A black, wrought-iron fence encircles the property with an automatic gate guarding the Pennsylvania stone driveway that complements the hardscape. A raised terrace sits off the kitchen dining area with additional outdoor access from the kitchen, seamlessly connecting to the heated, drywalled, two-plus car garage. Urban Rooftops recently completed a new garage rooftop design with composite decking and a cedar and steel pergola with recessed and ambient lighting. An 11-foot privacy wall with juniper greenery provides lushness and tranquility. Experience this rare, rich piece of Chicago history. Castlewood Terrace was the premier street where movie stars like Studs Terkel, Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin and Gloria Swanson, lived among wealthy Chicagoans who enriched the neighborhood's cultural and civic landscape and architecture. The reputed oldest running jazz club in America - The Green Mill - sits just a few blocks away. Castlewood Terrace residents have taken pride in their fabled street, resisting high-rise development that occurred around them. Most of the houses are brick structures with spacious lots and front driveways, offering visual consistency across diverse architectural styles from Tudor, Renaissance and Colonial Revival to Foursquare and Queen Anne. Through the 1970s and 1980s, many revitalization projects were launched in Uptown and Margate Park. Landmarks were added to the National Registry, including Castlewood Terrace. Landmark and preservation aficionados continue to move onto the street restoring and rehabbing the homes to their erstwhile beauty.
