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.

Beyond the main house, the property includes a charming rear coach house and a four-car garage with additional space above, ideal for an apartment, home office, gym, or creative studio.
