Nate Berkus' Design Director Selling Her Chic Chicago Home for $3.5M

We've found a haute home with serious design cachet. Owned by Nate Berkus Associates' director of design, Lauren Buxbaum, the four-bedroom home in Chicago's tony Gold Coast is fresh off a top-to-bottom renovation—by none other than Buxbaum herself.

Listed by Emily Sachs Wong of Emily Sachs Wong Luxury Real Estate last week for $3.5 million, the 5,000-square-foot property features a whopping number of baths for this part of town: four full bathrooms and an unheard-of five half-bathrooms! Black-and-white marble flooring in the entryway creates an old Hollywood glam look, and there's also a mix of orb lights, Moroccan lamps, and gas-lantern light fixtures.

Perfectly suited for entertaining, there's a spacious dining room; an updated kitchen with black-lacquer cabinetry paired with gold hardware, white subway tile, and checkered tile; and a concealed bar at the staircase landing.

And yet there are cozy corners in the home, too, like a bay window and fireplace in the living room, and heated marble flooring and a soaking tub in the master bathroom. The library could double as an extra bedroom. Also, a one-car garage means you don't have to deal with Chicago's ridiculous winter-parking rules.

But best of all is the sumptuous shoe closet, where there's almost no limit to the number of designer shoes you can store.
