Description
The Drake Tower stands as one of Chicago's most iconic addresses, where timeless elegance meets modern sophistication. Tucked within this landmark building, Unit 202 offers a rare opportunity: the only residence on its own floor, located on the mezzanine level. Arrive in style by taking the elevator with the building's friendly attendant, or ascend the grand staircase to the mezzanine where this remarkable home resides. Just down the hallway, residents enjoy coveted direct interior access to the legendary Drake Hotel. For added convenience, a large private storage locker-assigned exclusively to this unit-is located directly across the hall. This beautifully appointed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence balances architectural character with thoughtful design and breathtaking views of both the lake and city. The expansive living room sets the tone with a stately fireplace and custom built-ins that transition seamlessly into the formal dining room. Sunlight streams through oversized windows, accentuating the refined millwork, curated lighting, and graceful proportions of the home. The dining area, framed by a dramatic chandelier and elegant wall paneling, is perfectly suited for intimate dinners or grand entertaining. The chef's kitchen is equally impressive, outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and striking marble finishes that elevate both form and function. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with an en-suite bath and ample closet space, while the second bedroom also enjoys a full bath, ideal for guests or a home office. Throughout the home, hardwood flooring enhances the main living areas, while marble flooring graces the entryway and kitchen, adding to the sense of luxury. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to combine daily comfort with classic refinement. Residents of The Drake Tower enjoy premier amenities including a fitness center, wine lockers, 24-hour door staff, and a beautifully appointed roof deck. Perfectly positioned along the lakefront and steps from Michigan Avenue, Oak Street, and Chicago's finest dining, shopping, and entertainment, this residence offers not only a home, but a lifestyle of unmatched distinction.
