Property Details
Exquisite penthouse condo in Evanston's Dryden Mansion. Designed in 1916 by George Maher for Ellen Eastman Dryden, niece and heiress to the Eastman Kodak fortune. Every linear inch has been renovated, polished and brought back to life with careful restoration of the original architecture - all with a fresh eye and designed with the best luxe finishes. The kitchen, laundry room, three baths plus powder were gut renovated. The kitchen is clad with classic Statuario marble setting off a Venetian plaster hood, Parisian-inspired marble floor and integrated appliances by Sub-Zero/Wolf/Cove. New marble baths, refurbished floors, Visual Comfort light fixtures, new laundry room with built-in storage and laundry sink - too many improvements to list! The residence is centered on the mansion's original ballroom. Spanning a dramatic 65 feet, with barrel vault ceiling and original millwork, the space is easily defined by function: kitchen, media, dining and an elegant living room space anchored by a large fireplace. Adjacent to the ballroom is a beautifully scaled den situated above the mansion's portico, currently serving as an office and secondary media space. The private bedroom wing includes the main suite, rivaling a 5-star hotel, with French doors, walk-in closet and marble spa-like bath: soaking tub, generous steam shower, heated floors and designer-sourced lighting. There are two additional, spacious bedrooms with two dedicated marble baths and a new powder room. Welcome guests via the warmth of a skylit vestibule and usher them into a proper foyer with guest closet. A private treetop terrace completes the livability of the penthouse with plenty of sunny space for dining, relaxing and container gardening. An extra-large, two-car brick garage and jumbo storage space are practical luxuries. The Dryden Mansion is all about ease - just 25 minutes to O'Hare, 25 minutes to downtown via the train and so close to all North Shore suburbs. The ideal in-between location in lovely, vibrant Evanston! Walk to Union restaurant, Space music venue, Trader Joe's, Jewel, Pour coffee shop and wine bar, Northwestern's campus, the Metra, the El and the lakefront. A jewel-like condo that lives like a North Shore mansion.
