Home Details
Experience elevated city living in one of Chicago's most iconic residential towers. Whether as a full-time home or a refined pied-a-terre, Unit 31F at the prestigious Olympia Centre offers unmatched luxury, convenience, and style in the heart of the Magnificent Mile. Perched on the 31st floor, this expansive 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner residence spans 1,904 square feet and showcases sweeping panoramic views of the city skyline and Lake Michigan. The home combines sophisticated design, impeccable finishes, and access to world-class amenities-all within one of Chicago's most architecturally significant buildings, designed by the renowned firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Clad in elegant Swedish granite and seamlessly integrated into the vibrancy of Michigan Avenue, Olympia Centre is a landmark address. Residents enjoy direct access to Neiman Marcus and are mere steps from the lakefront, Water Tower Place, the John Hancock Center, premier shopping, world-class dining, parks, museums, and convenient transportation. Unit 31F features a coveted corner position with dramatic 180-degree views framed by oversized picture windows. Wide-plank oak hardwood floors flow throughout the open-concept living and dining areas, where custom marble-topped window seating invites moments of relaxation or admiration of the ever-changing skyline. The sleek, modern kitchen is a showpiece in both form and function, boasting high-gloss white cabinetry, natural stone countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances-including a Thermador refrigerator and oven, Dacor cooktop, and Bosch dishwasher. A large, custom millwork peninsula with dine-up seating anchors the space and opens to a generous dining area that comfortably accommodates eight or more for seated dinner parties. The spacious primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with custom wall-to-wall built-ins and commanding views. Its spa-like en-suite bathroom features a floating dual vanity, designer lighting, and a glass-enclosed oversized shower with bench seating. The second bedroom, currently configured as a lake-facing office or den, is perfect for guests or remote work. A second full bath features a contemporary tub/shower combo and refined finishes. Additional highlights include an in-unit laundry room with stacked washer/dryer, curated lighting throughout, special 3M film on the windows (in lieu of shades) to block out the UV rays and protect furniture/art, motorized blackout shades in the primary, and high-end fixtures that underscore the home's thoughtful attention to detail. Better still, residents of Olympia Centre enjoy access to white-glove services and amenities, including 24-hour door staff and concierge, an indoor pool and spa, a sun deck, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Parking is available with 24/7 access to the Olympia Centre Self Park Garage and optional valet service for added convenience.
