From the moment you enter this classically designed, pre-war apartment, you will be captivated by breathtaking, unobstructed views of the skyline and Lake Michigan. Your awareness shifts to the gracious, arched entry foyer, featuring elaborate paneling, gleaming, inlaid, hardwood floors and custom baseboard molding. This home was tastefully re-configured from a 3 bdrm unit & enlarged to 3500 sq ft. featuring a generously proportioned master suite w/ dressing room, & a handsome, cherry wood paneled bath w/ onyx counters, floors, shower, and soaking tub. Adjacent to primary bdrm is an office replete w/ white, custom built bookcases & cabinetry.

This room also features extensive crown molding as well as a full wall of custom closets w/ beautifully trimmed doors. The second bedroom is also ensuite. The beautifully designed formal living room is complimented by a marble surround, wood burning fireplace, custom cabinetry, & flows seamlessly into the dining room. Both rooms, w/ high ceilings & oversized windows, enjoy the backdrop of stunning views & provide abundant wall space to showcase any collector's prized artwork. A well-equipped butler's pantry has a wet bar, sub-zero refrigeration & immense storage. EIK enjoys park-like views of Cardinal's mansion & historic Astor St. Neutral, maple cabinets w/ white glaze give the space a timeless feel. The finest architectural & design elements define this home. Graceful space is infused w/ natural light & flows smoothly from one room to the next. Perfect alternative to single-family living. Inlaid wood flooring, w/ diagonal pattern, extraordinary ceiling height, crown, & dentil molding, surround sound, custom cabinetry, hardware, bespoke molding, use of stone & built-ins will delight the most discerning client. Easy to show.
