This handsome graystone was one of Potter Palmer’s earliest development projects. It was built as one in a pair of symmetrical homes around the corner from Palmer’s lakefront mansion, the Castle, which is no longer in existence today. Many of the home’s original details remain intact, including fabulous rift-sawn oak flooring, plaster moldings, a mosaic foyer, leaded glass windows, a beamed ceiling, and an ornate carved staircase. Other pluses include high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms. The lower level features a recreation room, a second kitchen, and a bath with access to the backyard/patio.
