Distinguished by its striking crow-stepped gable, this remarkable residence stands proudly in the heart of historic Kenwood. Built in 1896 for Edith and Laurence Carton, the home was designed by noted architect William Otis, a graduate of Paris's prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts and a protege of William LeBaron Jenney. At the height of Chicago's fascination with revival architecture, Otis looked to the canals of Amsterdam for inspiration, creating a residence that beautifully captures the elegance and craftsmanship of 17th-century Dutch design. Commissioned for the treasurer of Swift & Company, the home remains an exceptionally preserved example of architectural artistry and enduring quality. Beyond its richly detailed brick facade lies a grand yet welcoming interior filled with natural light. Original woodwork, art glass, and decorative tile have been meticulously preserved and thoughtfully complemented by modern updates. Expansive formal living and dining rooms flow effortlessly into a warm, inviting kitchen and a sunlit family room that opens onto a spacious deck-ideal for both elegant entertaining and everyday living. Offering eight bedrooms, multiple fireplaces, and a dramatic third-floor family room with soaring 15-foot ceilings, the residence provides extraordinary scale, character, and versatility. Set on a beautifully landscaped, tree-lined lot, the property also includes a charming coach house with a two-bedroom apartment-perfect for guests, extended family, or supplemental income. Timeless, sophisticated, and well maintained, this extraordinary home offers a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Kenwood's architectural heritage.
