Description
Magazine Worthy Penthouse condo in a stately 1879 building on the corner of Leavitt & Race boasts soaring, 11ft+ ceilings, skyline views & incredible light from tall windows on three sides! Enter this special home by ascending your personal (& original) staircase flooded with light from two large skylights overhead & arrive upon a wide open, 29 ft long living/ dining space anchored by a fireplace in the center & bookended by a turret with panoramic skyline views on one end & a large bay on the other. This dramatic space is magnified by the sunlight & views from 7 massive windows and the 10- 11 foot ceilings throughout. The kitchen is adjacent to the dining area & is comprised of espresso cabinets, granite counters, a beautiful green glass subway tile backsplash & a suite of brand- new stainless applainces just installed last week! The primary bedroom enjoys tall windows, a large closet & is en suite with a marble bath featuring a double- bowl vanity, a tub/ shower combo & a large window. The guest bedroom at the opposite end of the home ensures maximum privacy for owner & guests alike. This bedroom has a large step-in closet & two windows with panoramic skyline views! The guest bath includes a marble- clad walk- in shower. A gallery hall leads past the primary suite to a large covered deck with three brick walls punctuated by a massive arched opening with an antique iron railing that would not be out of place in Tuscany! This is an incredible space to entertain, grill, and relax right off your home. Price includes a convenient, assigned parking space via a curb cut (no need to drive down an alley) as well as shared storage in the basement. Unit was just fully painted. New furnace in 2022. New AC in 2021. New stainless appliance suite in May 2022. Steps to the Metra and all the dining, shopping and nightlife options on Chicago, Grand & Western!
