840 N Lake Shore 1803 IL 60611

Sophistication, comfort and designer details are the hallmarks of this stunning residence at 840 North Lake Shore Drive in Streeterville. Overlooking Lake Shore Park, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Lake Michigan, the building was designed by maverick architect Lucien Lagrange-and captures the magic of Chicago's rich architectural history. Inside unit 1803, more than 3,200 square feet reveal an elegant 3 bed/3.5 bath floor plan that highlights the beguiling views at every turn. A luxe level of materiality is evident from moment one, as refinished American walnut floors and meticulous crown molding unfold from the home's formal foyer. Parceled by design, the south half of the unit comprises the condo's chic living and entertaining spaces, beginning with a formal dining room that wows with tall ceilings, gallery walls fit for a serious collection and space for a substantial table. From here, a handsome family room/den finds definition from an Art Deco-style gas fireplace and a window-adjacent reading lounge before linking to a large living room with espresso-stained white oak media wall, two designated gathering spaces for intimate tete-a-tetes, and access to the home's sizable covered balcony. (During the summer, leave the sliding doors open and let the live jazz music coming from the MCA's Tuesdays on the Terrace series set the mood.) The kitchen seamlessly connects to both the living and dining rooms-and boasts beautiful white Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a standalone island with bar seating, a high-end suite of Miele/Thermador/Sub-Zero appliances, a corner breakfast nook and a walk-in pantry. But it's over in the unit's private quarters where refined comforts really come into play across its three total ensuite bedrooms, including a primary suite that flaunts two custom walk-in closets and an elegant spa bath with soaking tub, glass-encased shower and limestone walls-and views of the iconic John Hancock Building. A proper laundry room with full-size washer/dryer and surplus storage, two prime parking spaces (self-park or valet), a wine cellar, a bonus storage locker, a fitness center, a 24-hour doorman and on-site management round out this home's posh amenities.
