Most Expensive House in Chicago 

So you are fed up with renting, dealing with the landlord, or maybe you just really want to start mowing your own yard.  Imagine Lifestyles has the perfect solution for whatever your desire to own a home might be.  All Chicago residents know and love the Gold Coast, and no one can argue the fact that it is Chicago’s most expensive segment of residential real estate.  Currently, the MLS has a listing that will reiterate the fact that the Gold Coast still reins supreme over Chicago real estate.

Chicago's Most Expensive House, 25 E. Banks

Head on over to 25 E. Banks Street and feast your eyes on the most expensive piece of real estate currently on the market within Chicago city limits.  Currently owned by Jamie Dimon, CEO and Chairman of JP Morgan Chase, this masterpiece is listed at $9,500,000.  Measuring in at 13,500 square feet, with 18 rooms, 9 full baths, and a 2- car garage, this gives a whole new meaning to the term single-family home.  Originally constructed in 1880 on 2 lots just a block off Lake Michigan, the home was renovated by Marvin Herman and is truly marvelous.

The home was bought for $4.7M in September of 2000 and was originally listed in 2007 for $13.5M.  Now, with a new realtor, the home has been re-priced at $9.5M.  Chicago’s Gold Coast is the ultimate in luxury living, and this home lives up to the standards of Chicago’s elite.  Go ahead and make Mr. Dimon an offer on this lovely place, he might even be able to get you a loan through the bank.  

As we mentioned before, this house does come equipped with a spacious two-car garage.  Since your bank account will be beaten and bruised after purchasing such an expensive mansion, your vehicle budget might shrink just a little.  Do not worry though Imagine Lifestyles Chicago has all of your exotic and luxury rental cars available for rent 365 days a year for a fraction of the cost of ownership.  Don’t let the neighbors see you pull into your driveway in anything less than one of our exotic rental cars such as a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Bentley GTC Mulliner Edition.
