Property description
Offering classic Chicago sophistication in the heart of the Gold Coast, 161 E. Chicago Ave., unit #54B, is a 2154-square-foot luxury condo with breathtaking lake views and first-class amenities. Located in Olympia Centre, one of Chicago's premier high-rises steps from the Magnificent Mile, unit #54B features rare oversized windows, hardwood floors, and designer finishes. This home's handsome entry has a deep coat closet and access to a polished powder room, and connects to a large (22' x 7') foyer with gorgeous marble floors and modern millwork details. The living room is spectacularly spacious for a myriad of elevated living/entertaining configurations, features oversize windows that frame those unobstructed Lake Michigan views, and connects to a defined formal dining space. The gourmet, galley-style kitchen features a high-end stainless steel SubZero refrigerator, double ovens, custom white lacquer cabinetry, and natural stone countertops. The south end of the living room links to a light-filled den with a coffered ceiling and Art Deco accent lighting that can serve as a second bedroom based on preference. Sizable and lake-facing, the primary suite features three custom walk-in closets, more beautiful window benches and a sitting area, and comes complete with a luxe ensuite bath with marble floors, a double vanity, a soaking tub and a glass-encased shower. Additional in-unit details include custom window treatments, designer wallcoverings and statement lighting, and a walk-in laundry room. Building amenities include 24-hour door service, concierge, an on-site laundry room, a wide-open party room and lounge space to use for large-scale entertaining, an indoor pool, two separate fitness centers, a sauna, a whirlpool, and a sundeck with incredible views of the city and surrounding neighborhood. Steps from Lake Michigan, Oak Street Beach and the best shopping, dining, and cultural institutions Chicago has to offer, 161 E. Chicago Ave., unit 54B, delivers both convenience and lifestyle. (On site garage parking available, and the building is pet-friendly.)
