About This Home

As of March 2026

This exquisite 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath residence at The Montgomery offers refined modern luxury with expansive north-facing city views and glimpses of Lake Michigan beyond. Exceptionally high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and solid concrete construction create a remarkably quiet, light-filled living environment. Since 2017, the seller has made significant improvements throughout the home. The fully renovated kitchen features all-new custom cabinetry, appliances, and fixtures, the removal of a hallway wall to enhance flow, and a dramatic waterfall countertop. Built-in dining cabinetry with integrated lighting adds both function and architectural interest. Additional updates include refinished and re-stained hardwood floors, wood flooring added to all three bedrooms, glass transom to 3rd bedroom, new designer lighting throughout and extensive custom storage. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat with amazing North views, offering generous custom closets by Closet Works and a spa-like renovated bath with a fully tiled walk-in shower. The second bedroom, with floor-to-ceiling windows, is well-sized and privately situated. The fully enclosed third bedroom-currently styled as a den- maintains natural light while providing privacy, along with a very large closet and excellent storage. The second full bath has been fully updated including flooring, along with the updated powder room and in-unit laundry to complete the unit. The Montgomery is one of River North's most distinguished full-service luxury buildings, known for its architectural pedigree, high service level, and exceptional management with long-term door and maintenance staff. Amenities include 24-hour door staff, on-site management and maintenance, fitness center, party room, bike room, additional storage, and beautifully maintained common areas, including a landscaped "north lawn" with seating areas, grills, and fire pits. The building is pet-friendly, including large dogs, and features a private, secure dog run-one of the largest in the city. Ideally located to the Loop, Chicago Riverwalk, Michigan Avenue, Montgomery Park, and neighborhood favorites including East Bank Club, BIAN private club, Target, Mariano's, Whole Foods, AMC and premier dining-this is modernist luxury living at its finest. Attached garage parking available for $35,000.
