About This Property
Chicago's Penthouse. This elegant and spacious penthouse sits atop
an exclusive 1913 Benjamin Marshall Beaux-Arts masterpiece with
iconic Lake Shore Drive and Lake Michigan views. Experience
ultimate privacy, security and service in this boutique building
with only 13 residences and full-time staff. What truly sets this
home apart is the potential to build a one-of-a-kind private roof
terrace overlooking the lakefront - one of the city's largest! The
generous scale and proportion of this duplex home is impressive to
even those with the most discerning standards. A trophy property,
this home is the perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern
amenities, plus full-on panoramic lakefront and beach views out of
120' of windows. There are generous indoor-outdoor living
opportunities, including two expansive balconies and a dining deck
off the conservatory. The stately foyer showcases a sweeping
two-story staircase and vaulted ceiling. Pick your favorite place
among the public living rooms, den or sunroom, each with its own
views and vibes. The living room has a majestic bay window, and the
den is equipped with attractive built-ins, a wet bar and balcony,
and is also an optional bedroom. The dining room is a generous
size, typically set up for intimate dinner parties of 10-14, but
can be expanded to accommodate up to 24. For smaller gatherings,
the sunroom or kitchen nook are perfect. The bright and airy main
kitchen contains all the high-end appliances and amenities a chef
could want, including a butler's pantry, two warming drawers, an
extra Sub-Zero freezer and ice maker, wood burning fireplace,
island with seating, bay dining nook, temperature-controlled wine
room and second powder room. Tucked away in its own wing on the
main level, the primary bedroom includes a fireplace, classic
built-ins, several walk-in and standing closets and a
seating/reading alcove. The suite has individual dressing rooms,
two water closets, double vanities, a separate walk-in shower and
soaking jacuzzi with lake views. Conveniently, there is a hidden
safe and locked jewelry drawers as well. The top floor is
accessible by elevator as well and holds additional bedrooms and
various entertainment spaces. Got game? Challenge your family and
guests in the lounge (cards, backgammon, chess) or in the billiards
room (pool, ping pong). This home has endless entertaining
possibilities. If you prefer, with a quick change of furniture,
these rooms can be used for any other purpose, including up to five
additional bedrooms (as there were originally). More lake views,
walnut wall paneling, a fireplace and ornamental ceilings make this
floor warm and inviting. The den has a drop-down media
screen/system and a fireplace. The private walnut paneled office is
an oasis with a balcony and powder room and can easily be
transformed into an optional bedroom. A rare addition is the
conservatory with 22' ceilings and a catering kitchen nearby. It
has a separate A/C unit, heated flooring and remote windows
surrounding the periphery. This space is totally unique to high
rise living as it truly invites the outside in. There is a dining
terrace with attached gas grill and seating for six to eight. There
is an integrated audio system throughout. The original oak and
reclaimed marble floors from the early 1900's are in perfect
condition. Five fireplaces (two wood burning and three gas) and
five HVAC systems keep your living environment comfortable
year-round. The two large storage rooms measure 80 and 480 SF. 100%
walkability. Luxury, security and privacy with endless lake
views.
