Description

Be sure to watch virtual tour! Where Form and Function Meet Fantasy. Located steps from Chicago's magnificent mile, this iconic landmark on Lake Shore Drive is where contemporary American convenience compliments Fin de siecle European luxury. Inspired by French chateau elegance, this spacious apartment in the sky is accessed directly from the elevator with a private entrance. From atop the highest residential floor in its tier, owners can enjoy the stunning 360-degree views of both the lake and the city while allowing natural light to flood every corner of the unit from its vast expansive windows. Renovated in 2008 by the Award Winning AIA architect, Christopher A. Rudolph, this gorgeous home features the perfect blend of modern chic with vintage detail. Stepping off the elevator, one is met by the original faience tiled floor which leads the eye into the dramatic foyer where barrel-vaulted ceilings, elegant wallpaper and a sizable coat closet immediately announce old world elegance and modern convenience. The foyer opens onto a bright and spacious living room with amazing north and west-facing views of Lake Michigan and the beach. The living room features a stunning stone gas log fireplace (which can be converted to wood burning), a stone mantle, and impressive millwork. The adjoining formal dining room features custom shelves and window seats. The combination creates an ideal space for entertaining that allows for fluid movement. The fully renovated eat-in kitchen is any aspiring chef's dream come true. With cove lighting, Wood-Mode soft close cabinetry, butcher block countertops, pacific cloth-lined drawers for sterling silver and an authentic copper sink, the kitchen also boasts top-of-the-line appliances including, Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer and under counter ice maker, Wolf cooktop, double oven, warming drawer, and new KitchenAid dishwasher. Finishing the kitchen is the spectacular butler's pantry with butcher block counters, wet bar with copper sink, mirror backsplash and an abundance of cabinet space for storage. The luxurious primary bedroom suite offers incredible south-and west-facing views of the city, custom window treatments, cove lighting and his-and-hers outfitted walk-in closets. The spa-like en-suite bathroom features Calcutta Marble countertops, radiant heated flooring, Waterworks faucets/fittings, luxurious soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The second bedroom also offers south-and west-facing views as well as an outfitted closet and en-suite bath featuring radiant heated flooring, marble countertops and walk in shower. The spacious third bedroom (photographed as an office) is unique in that it is situated off the butler's pantry away from the other rooms, thus creating the privacy ideal for a guest suite. The en-suite bath off the third bedroom has the original tile floor, soaking tub, walk-in cedar closet and built-in storage. Dedicated laundry room with side-by-side full size Whirlpool washer/dryer, sink and built-in shelves. The extensive storage and cabinet space, including a separate storage unit on the lower level and new zoned Bosch 5 Ton A/C system with steam humidification system complete this home. Enjoy all that this historic and prestigious Gold Coast neighborhood has to offer, including shops, award-winning restaurants, parks, and Chicago's magnificent shoreline. Close to Latin and St. Chrysostom's.
