Built on no fewer than eight city lots, this sprawling 'chateau' is currently the Windy City's priciest listing.
It began with Parrillo, chairman and CEO of Miami-based United Automobile Insurance Company and confirmed Francophile, paying $12.5 million in 2005 for eight 149-foot-deep city lots on one of Chicago’s toniest thoroughfares, North Burling Street.Courtesy Jameson Sotheby's International Realty
Inside it was laid-out with 18 rooms that include six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, a music room, craft room, wine cellar and tasting room, seven fireplaces and an expansive office.By 2016, however, the Parrillos had reportedly decided the house was bigger than their needs, and were spending more time at their winter home in Florida. So 1932 N. Burling Street was put on the market with a jaw-dropping $50 million asking price.
After remaining empty for another two years, in February 2020 it was re-listed with a $5 million price cut, to $45 million. Which is where it sits today, with potential buyers being referred to listing agent Matt Leutheuser, of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, or his colleague Tim Salm.“Absolutely no expense was spared inside or out throughout this sun-filled mansion.
That included details like the magnificent marble spiral staircase, with its ornate black-and-gold-leaf wrought-iron balustrade, that soars upwards from the first-floor garden level to the third level. On the first floor, there’s a large reception room, sitting room, study and 20-foot by 23-foot games room. Multiple doors open out on to a large terrace overlooking manicured gardens, that long, narrow reflecting pool and the ornate, iron-framed gazebo.
