WALL OF WINDOWS with No Columns! Perched high above the city in the sought-after "A" tier, one of the most desirable floorplans in the building, this exceptional northeast corner residence offers a front-row seat to Chicago's most breathtaking panoramas. Unobstructed WALL OF WINDOWS, free from columns or interruptions, frame sweeping vistas of Lake Michigan to the east and the city skyline stretching north along Lake Shore Drive to Lincoln Park. From sunrise to sunset, the views captivate and inspire.  From the moment you step inside, a grand foyer welcomes you with a spacious coat closet, a well-appointed laundry room with side-by-side washer/dryer, and a stylish powder room. Beyond, a second gallery foyer gracefully leads you to the main living spaces. The expansive living and dining rooms are bathed in natural light, highlighting gleaming hardwood floors and a state-of-the-art sound system with discreetly hidden speakers. Here, a dramatic WALL OF WINDOWS elevates the space, showcasing endless views of the brilliant blue lake and the dynamic city skyline, an ever-changing backdrop that defines the home's elegance.  The gourmet kitchen, outfitted with Brookhaven cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook, creates the perfect setting to savor your morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake. The versatile third bedroom, currently used as a sophisticated den with custom built-ins, flows seamlessly from the living room, while the generous second bedroom includes an ensuite bath and equally spectacular views. The primary suite is a true retreat of indulgence with abundant custom closets and dual spa-inspired baths, designed to provide both privacy and luxury.  Meticulously maintained and move-in ready, this residence offers additional conveniences including same-floor storage located directly across from the unit. The building itself elevates the lifestyle experience with 24-hour door staff, a health club style indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, steam room, party room, and on-site management. Parking is available for lease in the attached heated garage.  Perfectly situated in the heart of the Magnificent Mile, adjacent to the Water Tower Place, surrounded by world-class shopping and dining, walking distance to Navy Pier, lakefront beaches, Millennium Park, the River Walk, the Opera House, theaters and museums, this is more than a home-it's a lifestyle of refinement, elegance, and unmatched views. Welcome home!
