About This Property

This exquisite historic Queen Anne and Romanesque style property located in Chicago's vibrant Streeterville neighborhood,in the heart of Northwestern Memorial Hospital medical district,and steps away from Michigan Avenue and Lake Michigan consists of 13,000 square feet of living space - an empty canvas ready to become its next masterpiece. Built in 1885 by Edwin F. Getchell who purchased the land from the estate of William B. Ogden,Chicago's first mayor,then hired prominent architecture firm,Burling & Whitehouse,to design the original four-level property. The property was later purchased and inhabited by renowned American portrait painter George Peter Alexander Healy,most famous for his portrayals of eminent persons including Abraham Lincoln,John Quincy Adams,Ulysses Grant,and The Peacemakers. In the 1970's,an addition was constructed to include such amenities as the outdoor deck,garden,sunroom and a 3-car garage,when it was used as a live/work property,with offices on the first 2 levels,and the owner's residence on the upper 2 levels,until current ownership purchased it in 2021 for investment purposes,and it now awaits the next chapter of a long and intriguing history. **Rental rate is negotiable dependent upon tenant's desired finish preference and timing,as a few of the rooms are unfinished,and completely customizable.**

Neighborhood

Streeterville is an urban neighborhood just north of downtown Chicago with tourist attractions, incredible lake views, and a picturesque city scape. Streeterville houses Northwestern University and is known for its welcoming community. The neighborhood’s main attraction is the Navy Pier, a former Navy training center, that’s been transformed into a tourism haven. Carnival rides, gift shops, eateries, lakefront views, beer garden, and evening fireworks in the summer months make for an incredible one-stop-shop for fun. There’s a wide variety of dining options in town, from four-star French cuisine to casual pub fare.

Downtown’s Museum of Contemporary Art is a big hit with locals and tourists, as is 360 Chicago that offers views from the 94th floor of the John Hancock Building complete with a tilting glass overlooking the city. The Ohio Street Beach is a popular public sandy spot on the lake with a beachside eatery, Caffe Olivia.
