About This Home

Penthouse Vibes, Prime Location, Showroom Style - Welcome to the James House! Perched high on the 40th floor of the iconic James House in Sandburg Village, this fully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo isn't just a home-it's a statement. With designer finishes, jaw-dropping sunset and skyline views, and every imaginable upgrade already done for you, this home delivers the rare combination of luxury, lifestyle, and location in one of Chicago's most vibrant neighborhoods. Step into a meticulously maintained and reimagined living space where form meets function at every turn. The sun-drenched open layout showcases wide-plank, white oak engineered hardwood flooring and seamless flow from the living room to the expansive west-facing balcony-your front-row seat to golden hour skies and sparkling city lights. The chef-inspired kitchen features quartz countertops, island seating, custom white cabinetry with matte black hardware, and a full suite of high-end smart stainless appliances. For your convenience, a stackable washer and dryer have been installed as well. Recessed lighting and WiFi-capable switches add modern convenience with a luxe touch. Just off the kitchen, an oversized walk-in pantry doubles as extra storage or a utility closet-thoughtful design that lives as beautifully as it looks. The primary bedroom is oversized and elegant, with a professionally organized closet, ambient recessed lighting, and space for a true work-from-home setup. Motorized room-darkening shades create tranquility for sound sleep. The second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a creative space, or a home office. The spa-worthy bathroom feels straight out of a boutique hotel, with designer tile, matte black finishes, sleek lighting, and a frameless glass walk-in shower with full-body spray. But it's not just about what's inside-this is James House, after all. Part of amenity-rich Sandburg Village, residents enjoy: 24-hour door staff & on-site management, Heated valet garage parking (available for $190/month), Fitness center, tennis courts & two swimming pools (fee applies), Penthouse party room & rooftop deck with unforgettable views of the lake and skyline, Receiving room, additional storage, and updated building systems including modern elevators, refreshed hallways, and new windows. All this in an unbeatable location-just minutes to North Avenue Beach, the Lakefront Trail, Lincoln Park, and the endless dining, shopping, and nightlife of the Gold Coast and Old Town. You're also steps from multiple CTA lines, making commuting a breeze. This isn't just a condo. It's an experience-elevated, turnkey, and move-in ready.
