2700 N Lakeview was once the site of a private school called The Harris School founded in 1921. Harris School purchased 2700 N Lakeview in 1946 from The Arthur Ryerson Estate. I attended Harris beginning in kindergarten up to 8th grade. The Harris School closed the Lakeview campus in 1972. I have amazing memories of being privileged to have attended school in such a beautiful historic building. Harris relocated to a brand new building on Hawthorne Place (which also included a mansion & coach house) in the mid 70’s. Andrei, as I watched your tour of residence 2, I was reminded of the foyer & (grand staircase-preserved). There was a rotunda shaped room on the 2nd level more toward the center of the building. There was a courtyard that we would walk through to reach the lunchroom which had a stage at the back. We had a darkroom in the basement that was reached via a back staircase. I have access to vintage Harris School yearbook photos in case you have interest. As a result of attending classes in a noteworthy former mansion, I am forever passionate about interior design & fine architecture! I would love an opportunity to see Residence 1 & any pre resto photos. Thank you for showcasing such a venerable property that will always be near & dear to me.
I love Foster Design Build and their renovations. A close friend had his home gutted and remodeled by them and it was fabulous. These guys are very talented.
The light fixtures are exquisite throughout the condo. I would never want open shelving in the kitchen! It attracts all kinds of molecular gunk which sticks to everything.
Am I the only one that feels that the integrity of the home was destroyed? It was a David Adler now it looks like any new construction on the inside. Breaks my heart.
They tried! But I see your point. Side note, there are two residences being restored. Residence 1 (not featured) is a true restoration of all original work. It's a much larger unit and I'm excited to see what the team does here. It's under construction now. I featured residence 2 which was built new for the most part. Only some features were original like the staircase.
@@andreisavtchenko Thanks for the insight! All the homes in that row are amazing, can't wait to see Residence 1! I'm glad the other residence is keeping some of Adler work, there's so many amazing homes he did in the area.
This house is the correct kind of 50 shades of grey. All the light fixtures are amazing especially the frozen droplet chandelier. Walnut cabinets and the dark navy cabinet doors are very well contrasted with the white and the grey of the house. It is a good thing that the colour of metal fixtures all over the house is the same everywhere. SO much natural light everywhere. Why is there a grill in the middle of the terrace? Overall, a very luxurious house.
Your presentation has really evolved. You're very natural and knowledgeable and really seemed to connect with the space. Your speech, articulation and vocabulary have greatly improved. And yes you did use gorgeous a lot but appropriately and not too often. Well done. Also loved the whole property, especially how they used the original stair railing. Very very nice house.
Just found your channel. I enjoy your quirks and your appreciation for the details. One thing that would be cool to see is more of the flow of the home, so I have a better understanding of where everything is. I'm looking forward to more!
Beautiful home (kudos, to the interior designer) and awesome tour... Would have loved to see the property fully staged but you still managed to keep it interesting though so 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks, Shane! I tried. Yeah, furniture make a difference and more fun to watch. Always trying to tour only staged properties unless they're super special like this one.
If you know the area, there is a 44 story highrise that towers over the outdoor patio. There really isn’t any privacy, and whoever buys this place will probably need to build a covered structure over it.
Your photographer never shows long shots of the rooms - they stay focused on you - not the room. The close ups are stable but awkward. Not sure if the equipment is the problem or the videographer’s eye. While you were talking about the sink it panned to the island. When you talked about the interior of a cabinet he didn’t bother to even show inside. You can talk about the rooms without focusing on you 50% of the time.
What do you guys think of this regal home? Leave a comment!
Legendary house with so much history! Thank you Andrei for a great tour - nice job speaking Russian to the coffee machine :)
Legendary is exactly what this home is! Thanks, Aleksandra. Can’t believe this coffee maker doesn’t talk back :)
What an amazing property, so beautiful and it oozes class.
These videos are the perfect length and I love how you really go over the nuances in the home, great video never change!
I appreciate that! More to come, Savion.

Wow, so much history and you know it all! Thanks for sharing. Send me some photos on IG @andreisavtchenko

Nice. Yeah, they do exceptional work. True pros!

@@cameronlamir1998 Of course! Yeah, this historic development is pretty amazing. Do you live in the area?
@@andreisavtchenko Yep! I live in the DePaul area, but always go down Wrightwood to get to the lake! So many beautiful houses in the area.
@@cameronlamir1998 Right on. If there are any awesome Chicago properties you'd like to see toured on this channel, let me know!

When you’re paying this much, natural light is not negotiable! The grill is not included 😂 Agree, such a stunning property. Piece of Chicago history!
Beautiful video, Andrey! Beautiful house!
Thank you very much, Delia. This is your future crash pad in the city!

Appreciate the nice comment. You’re the best! ❤️
great loving this longer content
Happy to hear. More to come!
I live right down Wrightwood Ave so I've seen this place get totally redone. Love the interior!
Hey neighbor! I know, amazing home. Residence 1 is being restored...it’ll be even crazier and more extravagant 🔥
Just found your channel. I enjoy your quirks and your appreciation for the details. One thing that would be cool to see is more of the flow of the home, so I have a better understanding of where everything is. I'm looking forward to more!
Totally. Great point and suggestion, thanks. It’s all about how a home lives and makes you feel!
excellent!
Sweet pad, right?
Ironically, that place was (at one point) a halfway house/some sort of substance abuse assisted living center.
Explain the irony. If a former substance abuser bought it, I could see the irony in that.
The irony being it was once a dump.
Beautiful home (kudos, to the interior designer) and awesome tour... Would have loved to see the property fully staged but you still managed to keep it interesting though so 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks, Shane! I tried. Yeah, furniture make a difference and more fun to watch. Always trying to tour only staged properties unless they're super special like this one.
Dreamy
😊
My dream house would fit inside this house.
Let’s go! 🔥
AMAZING ❤️
😊😊
This whole property is exquisite.
Agreed!
Great job Andrei. Keep uploading!
Thanks, Scott! Weekly episodes! What part of the world are you from?
Canada
@@scottsadler170 Nice. You guys have some stunning homes! I'm a fan of Brad McCallum.
Whoever did this house went crazy on the marble and wood mounding. What’s your favorite material for a kitchen countertop?
Love them all. Drawn to honed or leathered quartzite! 🔥
Andrei, did you find the name of that grey? It really was tasteful.
Yep! Light Pewter by Benjamin Moore 😊
I love your video’s! Awesome house.
Thank you so much, Anthony!
FYI,Lakewiew is a north/south street in Chicago. The address can't be 2700 West. Should be 2700 North Lakeview.
Good call, Ron! Said it correctly in the intro but made a typo in description. Just updated it 🙏🏼
If you know the area, there is a 44 story highrise that towers over the outdoor patio. There really isn’t any privacy, and whoever buys this place will probably need to build a covered structure over it.
Tough to get away from high rises in the area… can always add a privacy pergola.
The house is just beautiful
Beautiful indeed!
Hi , So Wich Grey is it ?
.thank youuu
Light Pewter by Benjamin Moore!
Benjamin Moore 1534 Rodeo Gray

Andrei! I am so impressed by your tours of these beautiful homes. Do you mind sharing your playlist for these videos? I love the music
Thanks, Robert! Appreciate it man. Sure can...reach out to me on IG @andreisavtchenko and I’ll send.
Guys

The interior is really interesting, excellent bones and finish. But the outside entrance is plain shitty, it definitely needs some work done...
Shows better furnished!
I dunno if they had enough marble.
😂

Appreciate the feedback, Izzy. We’ll take into account for future episodes 🙏
The property taxes on this condo are...............................117,600 $ a year..!!! cook county is at 2.1 % of value..!!
😳
So, you know the exact name of this color?
Yep, Light Pewter by Benjamin Moore. Great color, right?
Yeah, looks perfect for bedroom, thanks for sharing
@@neil_armweak You’re welcome!
Beautiful residence. The agent's excessive use of "guys" is super annoying and many people find the word offensive. Good luck
....guys!
Good feedback. Well noted...thanks 🙏
Now the main part is for sale for $11.5 million
Pantry seemed small.
😊
Nice home, but the video is way to long. You’re great on camera, but I skipped it and went to the website. Hope you took that positively.
All good. Thanks for checking out the video!
I disagree.
Waiting for my Crypto Gains to kick in, then I'd totally buy it!
This home has six bedrooms not four bedrooms
For the price it needs to be staged. Not a private terrace when you have all the buildings windows looking out at you
You can certainly enclose it for privacy! City living…sometime you can’t have it all 😜
Sorry, but nothing says pretentious like an over abundance of badly scaled picture frame molding.
It’s a vibe.
Idk y but this house gives me anxiety , might be that every room looks the same
😊
