Property Description
Spectacular skyline views steal the show in this top-floor penthouse along iconic Lake Shore Drive. The rare east-to-west exposure delivers sunlight all day long and frames both sunrise over the lake and sunset behind Chicago's dazzling skyline - all from the comfort of home. Inside, a welcoming open-concept layout features rich cherry hardwood floors throughout the living space. The kitchen is equipped with quality stainless-steel appliances including Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, and Fisher & Paykel - perfect for cooking and entertaining. A private balcony offers the ideal vantage point to enjoy the breathtaking views - from peaceful lake views glowing in the morning light to the sparkling city skyline at night. In 2020, approximately $50,000 in new sliding glass doors with retractable screens were installed leading to the balcony - enhancing flow, efficiency, and your enjoyment of those incredible views. The primary bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with a custom walk-in closet and a spacious en-suite bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Residents enjoy full-service amenities including 24-hour door staff, an indoor pool, fitness center, sauna, two sundecks, a party room, and on-site valet parking for residents and guests. Located in the heart of the Gold Coast, you're just steps to Oak Street Beach, Michigan Avenue shopping, Rush Street dining, and the lakefront path. If you've been searching for a home where the views take center stage - and city living feels effortless - this penthouse is the one.
