Renovated in 2019 with more than $1.2 million in improvements, the home seamlessly blends timeless prewar architecture with sophisticated contemporary design. Oversized arched windows grace the main living spaces, while expansive east-facing windows capture beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Southern and western exposures bathe the residence in exceptional natural light throughout the day. Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the expansive floor plan features a gracious living room with a rare wood-burning fireplace, a dramatic 25-foot family room, open dining area, and an exceptional chef's kitchen with a 14-foot marble island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a walk-in pantry, dedicated wine cellar, and wet bar. The private primary suite offers a gas fireplace, dual custom walk-in closets, dressing area, and a spa-inspired marble bath with a Kohler steam shower, NuHeat heated floors, and an oversized soaking tub. Three additional en-suite bedrooms, a powder room, separate laundry room, and dedicated storage complete the residence. Residents also enjoy exclusive access to the building's beautifully landscaped private garden and gazebo an exceptionally rare amenity that provides a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Gold Coast.
