This home brings all of the best aspects of penthouse living to the forefront: privacy, incredible views, and sprawling spaces indoors and out. Perched on the 44th floor of The Fordham, this home spans over 4,800 square feet, encompassing half of the 44th level. The home’s size means multiple exposures throughout, allowing you to enjoy sunrise views in the mornings, and gorgeous sunsets each evening. All of these features set this home apart and offer the ultimate in Chicago luxury.
Enter the grand marble foyer and on into the luxe living room with stunning cityscape views streaming through full walls of windows. Or, turn another way and notice the stylish wet bar, positioned adjacent to the living space and perfect for entertaining – slab backsplash and dark solid wood cabinetry create a sophisticated design. Peer down to appreciate the herringbone hardwood floors, adding the perfect texture and subtle point of interest that ties the whole living area together.
Abundant natural light and panoramic views complement and highlight this stunning kitchen. I especially love the large island, and plentiful solid wood cabinetry and countertop prep space. Two sinks make it easy to accommodate multiple chefs, and integrated high-end appliances provide an overall seamless look.
On your way to the primary suite, pass through the library, which is an ideal work from home space. Find a true retreat in the primary suite with east lake views, a southern exposure and one of four private balconies. The walk-in closet is so spacious it feels like a private dressing room, and is complete with solid wood organization and an island for added storage. Be transported to a luxury spa inside the primary bathroom, complete with separate vanities, impressive soaking tub, glass enclosed shower and private commode.
I love the layout of this home with the two additional bedrooms on the west side, each offering its own ensuite bathroom for maximum privacy, plus ample closet space – and the perfect place to enjoy sunset views!
The wine cellar can easily accommodate any bottle collection, and don’t forget to enjoy the private humidor. A private two-car garage rounds out this singular home, which showcases the lap of luxury around every corner. The building’s amenities are equally as impressive and include a fitness center, pool, sauna, massage room, sundeck, theater, wine cellar, dog run, and more. The Forham is perfectly positioned in the heart of Chicago’s finest retail, dining, beaches and healthcare.
