Description

Tremendous price improvement for this flawless, design-forward, full-floor penthouse residence at The Fordham, complete with five private terraces. Located on a tree-lined stretch of Superior Street just steps away from Chicago's Magnificent Mile, this 4 bed/6 bath, 8,100-square-foot home boasts direct, elevator access to a private, on-floor lobby. Inside, a large foyer with sisal carpet, high-gloss paint and modern crown molding sets a sophisticated tone for receiving guests. From here, espresso hardwood floors and a modern floor plan give connectivity to the home's main living and entertaining spaces, including an elegant, lake-facing living room with designer drapery and terrace, a formal dining room with custom built-ins, a cozy den with a marble fireplace, and a family room with another fireplace and access to two more terraces. (Technically this home's fourth bedroom, the family room can easily be converted back into a guests suite depending on the homeowner's preference.) Oversize windows frame spectacular city/lake views throughout while filling every room with natural light, including this home's stunning chef's kitchen which features custom cabinetry, marble countertops, a seamless marble backsplash, professional grade Wolf/SubZero appliances, a peninsula with counter seating, a wet bar with wine fridge and a butler's pantry. The kitchen also connects to the south wing, where a great room gives definitions to a chic breakfast room with window-box seating and a media lounge with contrast-plank floors. Beyond, there's a theater room, a wine cellar, another large terrace with lounge seating and a grill, a handsome office/study with a third fireplace, and a large laundry room. This home's private quarters present three, secondary bedrooms with en suites, two of which link to their own outdoor terrace. Finding separation from a beautiful gallery hall, the primary suite features a spacious primary bedroom with terrace access, a large walk-in dressing room with a custom closet system and an accessories island, and a true spa bath with marble finishes, a large vanity with makeup counter, a soaking tub and a walk-in shower. Posh building amenities include a wine cellar and tasting room, a humidor room and lounge, a screening room, a spa and year-round pool, maid and room service, and a rooftop pet recreation area-and an impossibly rare, four-car private garage. With an abundance of space for spreading out or coming together, not to mention a close-to-everything location with tons of nearby restaurants that's just steps to the lake, 25 E. Superior St., unit 4701, is a turnkey, single-family home in the sky with unparalleled luxuries, convenience and the security of a world-class condo building.
