Perched atop a Chicago architectural landmark just steps from Northwestern Hospital, this rarely available full-floor penthouse offers an extraordinary blend of privacy, volume, and panoramic 360 views of Lake Michigan, the city skyline, sunsets, and Navy Pier fireworks from every room. Accessed via private elevator, the residence stuns with soaring 14-foot ceilings and massive picture windows that flood the space with natural light and capture striking vistas in every direction. Thoughtfully curated with the finest finishes-Carrara marble, Italian porcelain tile, custom millwork, wide-plank hardwood flooring, and Poliform cabinetry-this home exudes refined elegance. The gourmet kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring Arclinea Italian cabinetry, a large eat-in island, and top-tier Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, along with a full butler's pantry with wine cooler and bar sink. The expansive primary suite includes custom built-in closets and a spa-caliber bath with double vanity, oversized glass shower, and luxurious stone finishes. Additional highlights include an in-unit washer/dryer, motorized shades, and generous storage throughout. Residents enjoy access to a full-service building with a new state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor pool, 24-hour door staff, and professional on-site management-an iconic, one-of-a-kind residence offering timeless elegance. Whether you're drawn to the views, the craftsmanship, or the sense of calm high above the energy of the city, this penthouse is more than a home-it's a private sanctuary in the sky.
