50 East Chestnut delivers space with a view
Sumptuous spaces and open vistas are showcased in a newly furnished single-floor model at 50 East Chestnut, a 39-story boutique luxury condominium development under way at the corner of Rush and Chestnut in the Gold Coast.
"We have a professionally designed and furnished model by Gary Lee Partners that shows buyers the versatility of this gracious floor plan," said developer Charles Huzenis of Rush/Chestnut, LLC.
The 50 East Chestnut model residence is a textbook example of designer Gary Lee's "New Chicago style."
"It's not East and it's not West," said Gary Lee. "It's a concept that allows you to live comfortably with a collection of beautiful objects -- regardless of their provenance, vintage or style within a harmonious framework."
The model design is impressive in its warmth and comfort instead of glitz. Gary Lee and his team took a unique approach by eliminating some of the traditional walls and strategically placing millwork partitions that provide the ability to create intimate spaces by closing them -- or keeping them open to provide a dramatic vista along almost the entire length of the home.
Another aspect of Gary's style is successfully blending contrasting elements that play off of one another to achieve balance. For example, the almost "gallery white" living spaces give way to a seductively dark master bedroom. Neutral-toned rugs and furniture float on richly-hued wood floors, and natural stone and glass provide a counterpoint to the dark cabinets in sumptuous bathrooms.
The customized floor plan in the model envisions how the standard plan for floors 8 through 35 at 50 East Chestnut could be individualized, Huzenis said.
The standard floor plan features three bedrooms, 3½ baths and 3,904 square feet of living area. It's priced from $2,846,900.
Each full-floor condominium residence at 50 East Chestnut is shaped like a trapezoid, with four light-filled corners interconnected by two terraces.
"Breathtaking light-filled views through expansive windows are available in almost every room in the model," Huzenis said.
Sales have surpassed the 50-percent mark at 50 East Chestnut, and first closings began in October, said Steve Mandell, partner in Rush/Chestnut, LLC, the developer. The building is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2008.
A choice of three-bedroom, 3½-bath residences are still available for purchase. Remaining full-floor residences range in size from 3,845 to 3,904 square feet and are priced between $2,846,900 and $3,539,900. Parking is available for $65,000 per space.
The condominiums at 50 East Chestnut also offer a host of amenities including private garden terrace with dog run, top-floor fitness center with incredible views, 24-hour doorman, personalized concierge services and a self-park garage.
The 50 East Chestnut model is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. in Residence 2101 of the 50 East Chestnut Building.
