Deemed “the most beautiful property in the city or suburbs,” this 20,000 SF mega-mansion certainly lives up to its reputation…as well as the $13.35M sale price. Situated on Lincoln Park’s prominent Burling Street, this 7BR 8BA sanctuary even stands out in a neighborhood chockfull of million-dollar homes.
