This parkside palace, tucked away in an urban Garden of Eden, is straight out of a storybook. Step through the whimsical wrought-iron gate, past the fountain then under the leafy fig trees onto the front porch, and you immediately get the sense of a hushed voice speaking “Chapter one..” as the first page slowly turns. Step inside and take in the expanse of original heart of pine floors, soaring coffered ceilings, decorative fireplaces and built-in custom features, original wavy glass windows and board-and-batten paneling. The bright kitchen overlooking the back half of the property sports custom counters, beadboard ceilings, a viking range, chalkboard fronted refrigerator and glass-front cabinets. The second floor offers four bedrooms including a primary suite with what may just be the largest walk-in closet in Grant Park. The expansive primary bathroom features dual vanities, a soaking tub and separate shower. The partial basement area with features a large living room / media room with French doors leading to the back yard, a full bathroom, and an office / workout room. Out back is where the magic really comes to life and where the deck opens to a wooded wonderland filled with native trees & ornamental plantings. The first thing that catches your eye is the treehouse, built by the master carpenter who the current owners hired to do much of their renovations. Beyond the treehouse are various koi ponds and streams running throughout the property, and thee’s even a meditation shed at the very back of the property where you can look back over your domain as you soak-in the eastern morning light. 566 Park Avenue is truly a one-of-a-kind property located just a few feet away from the Grant Park pool, steps to Ziba’s Bistro and the upcoming ice cream shop in the former Bennett’s sandwich shop, and everything else a coveted Park Avenue location has to offer.
