Welcome home to this extraordinary, one-of-a-kind residence in the iconic Palmolive Building, ideally situated just steps from the shimmering shores of Lake Michigan and the renowned Magnificent Mile. As you enter through a grand double-door entry, you're greeted by a gracious foyer featuring exquisite herringbone inset hardwood floors and dual closets, which lead seamlessly into the expansive, light-filled living room. This elegant space is adorned with a stately fireplace, an oversized wall of windows, and beautiful moldings throughout, offering rare, sweeping views of the city along Michigan Avenue. This recently renovated, sprawling 2, 700+ square-foot home masterfully blends classic charm with modern luxury. High ceilings, recessed lighting, and beautiful hardwood floors create an atmosphere of sophistication, while custom organized closets enhance the sense of order and space. The newly redesigned bathrooms exude style and luxury, and the chef's kitchen is nothing short of a dream. It boasts custom Omega cabinetry, pristine countertops and backsplash, top-of-the-line Bosch and Sub-Zero appliances-including a stunning La Cornue range and a separate wine refrigerator. A custom oversized island and expansive pantry wall offer an abundance of storage, making this kitchen both a functional and beautiful centerpiece. Flooded with natural light from its coveted southern exposure, this exceptional corner unit offers an ideal floor plan that thoughtfully separates the primary suite from the secondary bedroom and main living area. A private office and library further enrich this residence's versatility and appeal. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring an elegantly designed wall of closets and a large walk-in closet, providing ample storage space. The spa-like primary bathroom is a sanctuary of indulgence, complete with heated floors, a deep soaking tub, a separate glass shower, and a dual vanity with a discreet built-in Apple TV, offering the perfect blend of luxury and convenience. The Palmolive Building is renowned for its unmatched services, including 24-hour door staff, an onsite manager, concierge, and engineer, as well as a fully equipped fitness center, whirlpool, steam room, and the elegant Beacon Club room for entertaining guests. The building also offers valet parking in its onsite garage, with one parking space included. Living here means enjoying all of Chicago and what the Magnificent Mile have to offer-world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment at your doorstep. This is a rare opportunity to own a residence that embodies timeless elegance, refined craftsmanship, and unparalleled sophistication in one of Chicago's most iconic buildings.
