About This Home

As of December 2024

Welcome to the Chicago Lifestyle, a Bucktown story. This exceptional 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom penthouse condo resides in a boutique elevator building, featuring only two units per floor for a sense of privacy and comfort. Step into a space where elegant design and breathtaking skyline views create a true sanctuary in the heart of the city. Situated in vibrant Bucktown, this home offers stunning south, east, and west exposures, flooding each room with natural light and framing downtown Chicago's iconic skyline. Custom wainscoting and beautiful millwork throughout add an undeniable layer of sophistication, bringing depth and timeless character to every room. The living area is nothing short of breathtaking, anchored by a deep green accent wall with classic paneling that draws the eye and complements the high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling arched windows. These oversized windows not only welcome abundant sunlight but provide a magnificent cityscape view, making each moment feel expansive and connected to Chicago's urban charm. The gourmet kitchen is designed to impress with its bold two-tone palette-crisp white upper cabinets paired with navy lower cabinetry. Granite countertops and a sleek subway tile backsplash lend sophistication, while custom open shelving and a built-in wine rack offer both functionality and style. At its center, the spacious island with pendant lighting creates a perfect gathering spot for friends and family. The adjacent dining nook, surrounded by windows, provides a cozy setting for memorable meals and stunning views. The primary bedroom is a serene retreat. Painted in a calming navy hue and overlooking treetop views through oversized windows, this space feels like a private escape within the city. The en-suite bathroom is spa-inspired, featuring a dual vanity, marble-tiled frameless glass shower, and designer fixtures for an experience of everyday luxury. The versatile second bedroom serves as an ideal guest room or home office, enhanced by custom-built shelving that seamlessly combines function with style. Down the hallway, a custom bar and library area offers a unique nook for enjoying cocktails or showcasing a curated book collection, painted to harmonize with the living area's sophisticated color scheme. The penthouse also boasts two private outdoor spaces. A welcoming front balcony is perfect for morning coffee, while a spacious back deck provides a tranquil setting for sunset views, alfresco dining, or unwinding above the lively energy of Bucktown. Practical amenities include in-unit laundry, an extra storage unit, and garage parking, making day-to-day living seamless and convenient. Elevator access adds to the ease, offering quick and secure access to this top-floor unit. Located in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods, this penthouse places you steps from the 606 Trail and immersed in the vibrant energy of Bucktown. Enjoy neighborhood highlights like Small Cheval for burgers, Gracie O'Malley's for sports, Remedy for intimate cocktails, and nearby coffee shops for a quick pick-me-up. With boutiques, restaurants, and essential services just around the corner, this neighborhood captures the perfect balance of city convenience and neighborhood charm. With every detail thoughtfully curated, this penthouse condo embodies the Chicago Lifestyle, offering luxurious finishes, practical amenities, and an unbeatable location in the heart of Bucktown.
