What's special
Step into a thoroughly reimagined and beautifully renovated 3-bedroom 2.5-bath residence at the prestigious Olympia Centre. This gorgeous home offers sweeping lakefront, skyline and park views. The full renovation, completed one year ago, features an updated kitchen with quartzite countertops, an induction cooktop, custom designer lighting, and an adjacent custom built-in bar space with dual wine refrigerators. The primary suite showcases stunning views, a custom built large walk-in closet, and a fully remodeled spa-like bathroom with marble floors and walls, quartzite counters, custom cabinetry, and an oversized glass shower. Two additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, with one thoughtfully configured as a soundproof media room. Details such as wide-plank oak floors, gallery walls, 9-foot custom oak doors, Lutron lighting and automated window treatments highlight the home's meticulous attention to detail. Residents enjoy full-service amenities, including a spa-like indoor pool, fitness center, and the renowned Olympia staff. Steps from the lakefront, Michigan Avenue's premier shopping and dining, and the MCA's seasonal farmer's market-and with unobstructed views of Navy Pier fireworks-this home offers a rare combination of style, sophistication, and lifestyle.
