About This Home
As of June 2025Nestled in the heart of Fort Sheridan, this stunning condo blends timeless architecture with modern sophistication. Dramatic 20-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, rustic beams, and 6-foot windows overlooking the historic parade grounds create a one-of-a-kind living experience. Step into the warm and inviting living room, where a gas fireplace with built-in shelving serves as a striking focal point. An abundance of natural light floods the space through oversized windows, highlighting the rich, hardward floors. Adjacent to the living area, the dining space easily accommodates large gatherings, making it perfect for hosting friends and family. Seamlessly connected to the main living space is an exceptional chef's kitchen, where imported Snaidero Italian cabinetry, honed marble countertops, and a classic white, subway tile backsplash provide both beauty and functionality. High-end Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances cater to the most discerning home chefs. A butler's pantry offers additional prep and storage space, making entertaining effortless. Beyond the kitchen, a sprawling 700+ sq ft balcony with southern exposure, with views of the courtyard, is perfect for morning coffee or al fresco dining. A dedicated office / den, enclosed with French doors, provides a peaceful and inspiring workspace. With direct balcony access and sweeping views of the parade grounds, this office makes working from home a pleasure. The primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring two walk-in closets, built-in desk and fully renovated en-suite bath featuring a dual vanity with elegant finishes, a spacious walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub, creating a spa-like ambience. Two additional bedrooms are located on the main level, each offering ample closet space and natural light. They share a beautifully updated second full bath. The loft provides flexible living space for a home office, yoga retreat, or lounge, and opens to a spacious family room. More than just a home, this is an invitation to a lifestyle - where scenic shoreline walks, lush biking trails, and a peaceful community foster a deep connection to nature, neighbors, and a life well-lived.
