About this home
Step into elegance the moment you arrive at this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 3.1-bathroom PENTHOUSE offering breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Designed by the legendary architect Robert DeGolyer in 1924, this stately all-brick cooperative is one of a kind. The elevator opens directly into your private residence, where you're welcomed by soaring 15-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors throughout, exquisite custom built-ins, and intricate crown molding-craftsmanship rarely seen today. The dramatic entryway, complete with a grand staircase, sets the tone for timeless sophistication. A cozy library adds charm, while the piece de resistance is your private outdoor terrace-perfect for alfresco dining with panoramic lake views. This home features two expansive ensuite bedrooms on the first floor. The chef's kitchen boasts top-tier appliances, a separate pantry. A rare bonus: an in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience. Residents enjoy access to a beautifully renovated fitness center and a newly completed outdoor courtyard with new grilling stations, prep counters, dining areas, and a cozy gas fireplace. The building is pet-friendly and offers 24-hour door staff, an onsite engineer, two large private storage lockers, and a bike room. Located in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods, you're just steps from public transit, renowned dining, luxury retail, top schools, and cultural landmarks. Parking is available for lease directly across the street at 1150 N Lake Shore Drive, with additional neighborhood parking on Elm Street. This penthouse is truly one of a kind-an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. Explore the property in 3D!
