About This Home
Amazing, dramatic penthouse in a classic vintage building on East Lake Shore Drive! This home has been completely renovated with over 7400 square feet of luxurious finishes and offers expansive lake & city views plus 2 terraces with 550 square feet of private outdoor space. Walk off the elevator into this full floor home featuring oversized windows and extraordinary ceiling height make this home truly one-of-a-kind. The grand living room extends the entire front of the apartment with beautiful paneling and sensational views over Lake Michigan and Lake Shore Drive. Entertaining formally or casually is done with ease by virtue of the thoughtfully appointed, all new chef's kitchen with additional eat-in area. The grand dining room is fabulous for entertaining or used as a huge great room. The master suite offers a private office and an over-sized dressing room.
