Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true Chicago gem. This is one of the city's most beautiful penthouses with 7450 square feet of living space in an iconic and incredibly chic small cooperative. Originally built in 1929, this boutique building is fifteen stories in height and has just 12 residences. With all the glamour and history of days gone by, this particular apartment was designed with a sensible floor plan that beautifully accommodates today's lifestyle. Upon entry at the center of the 15th floor you immediately appreciate the volume and size of the gracious gallery hall. It is light and bright, dramatic, and welcoming. To the east is the perfectly proportioned living room. With its 15 foot ceiling height, gas fireplace, and views of the city, lake, and park, this space is the perfect setting for entertaining, whether for a large group or on a more intimate scale. Adjacent to the living room is a charming double height library with original wood paneling, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and access to the east terrace. The original staircase leads to a second level where a window nook provides a stunning lake view and a comfortable place for you to sit and read. A large formal dining room with original dentil moldings and chevron pattern flooring does not disappoint. Located at the west end of the gallery it has beautiful natural light from the southwest and flows seamlessly into the unexpected and fabulous solarium. Extending across the entire width of the west side you will experience the year-round delight of natural light that emanates from the skylight as well as the exposure to the south and west. The city views from this room, as well as the perimeter terrace, are an unusual city treat. On the north side of the 15th floor is the kitchen, which is accessible from the dining room, the solarium, and the library. The well-planned workspace perfectly services all of your needs.
