1040 North Lake Shore Drive 25d, Chicago

Hands down, the most exquisite residence at the iconic Carlyle, widely known for its exemplary service and facilities. With spectacular panoramic protected views of Lake Michigan, Oak Street Beach, and the city from a high floor in the building's prime tier, 25D is the result of a recent $1 million masterful gut renovation - every hinge, fixture, and surface reflects an attention to detail rarely seen in even the finest new construction. The floorplan is ideal for grand entertaining and intimate everyday living. A formal entry opens to a glorious living/dining room with enough room for a number of seatings. Separated by a see-through decorative fireplace (which could be outfitted with a water vapor installation), the handsome library - swathed in stunning sapele paneling -has a wet bar and views open to the living area.
