Privately set on nearly an acre one block from Lake Michigan, 134 Melrose represents a rare convergence of architectural artistry, bespoke design, and modern luxury. Over 15,000 square feet, the estate reflects the provenance of Paul Konstant, Athens Construction, Susan Stacey Design, and Scott Byron & Co. a cohesive vision of architecture, construction, design, and landscape. Set deep within the property, the residence reveals itself along a private approach culminating at the motor court. Generous windows draw sunlight through layered interiors while framing the grounds.
