Listing highlight: 1040 N Lake Shore Drive Unit 26D

Impressive, luxurious and sophisticated are the three words that come to mind when describing this newly renovated three bedroom, three-and-one-half bathroom residence with over $1M in designer upgrades, nestled inside the iconic Carlyle building in the heart of Chicago's prestigious Gold Coast neighborhood.

As you step into the formal foyer of this meticulously crafted unit, you are immediately greeted by an open floor plan that showcases breathtaking panoramic views stretching from Oak Street Beach to Lincoln Park. The wrap-around windows give the feeling of full immersion into the gorgeous lake below. 

The seamless integration of the living and dining areas creates a space that is not only expansive, but also inviting. Multiple seating zones help break up the generous spaces and cater to both intimate gatherings and larger social events. Adjacent to these areas is a showstopping family room enclosed by glass doors, making it the perfect versatile location for movie nights, or a few hours of work at the built-in desk – and Sub-Zero beverage cooler means you are never left thirsty.  

The exquisite gourmet kitchen is as gorgeous as it is thoughtfully designed and curated. Featuring ceramic countertops and backsplash, top-of-the-line Sub-Zero appliances, and Miele cooktop and ovens, every detail has been carefully considered to enhance the cooking experience. My two favorite details are the separate yet complimentary beverage station/wet bar, and the ingenious built-in privacy screen separating the dining room and kitchen with the flick of a wrist. The adjacent terrace provides an outdoor extension perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening cocktails against the backdrop of the city lights.

Each of the three spacious bedroom suites is a sanctuary of comfort and sophistication, including the primary, which feels like an oasis within an oasis. Enjoy lake views, a large professionally organized walk-in closet (with amazing natural light!), and a lavish primary bath boasting heated Terrazzo tile floors, soaking tub, a separate shower, and a private commode.

Residents of the Carlyle enjoy access to a wealth of amenities, including an indoor pool, a ballroom for special events, extensive workout facilities, and common roof terraces offering panoramic views of the city and Lake Michigan. Valet parking affords the perfect convenience to an urban lifestyle. 

Live at Chicago’s doorstop with easy access to Lake Michigan, Oak Street Beach, Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue’s premier dining and retail.
