Property Description

Presenting one of Drexel Boulevard's most distinguished estates, a meticulously redesigned three-story masterpiece in Chicago. Originally envisioned by architect Horatio Wilson for Benjamin Bensinger, president of the Brunswick Corporation, this home seamlessly blends its handsome original exterior with a completely reimagined interior. Wilson's meticulous attention to detail shines through in the ornate tiled gallery floor, grand fireplaces, barrel-domed baroque plaster ceilings, and enduring hardwood flooring throughout.
