Description
Awesome 5Br 5Bth combo unit offering a single-family home on one level with breathtaking views of Lake Michigan, Grant Park, and Chicago's iconic skyline. Sprawling 3,400+ square-foot northeast corner residence in the landmark Metropolitan Tower, offering 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Freshly painted and meticulously maintained by the original owners, this extraordinary home combines the scale and privacy of a single-family residence with the convenience and amenities of luxury condominium living. A private foyer, created when the original owners combined two residences, provides an impressive sense of arrival. The expansive layout features three en-suite bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, two in-unit laundry rooms, abundant storage, and timeless architectural details throughout. Three attached, heated, deeded garage parking spaces are available separately, including one tandem space accommodating two vehicles and one additional secured single space. The oversized living room features soaring ceilings, custom moldings, a fireplace, and panoramic east and north exposures. The expansive dining room captures spectacular lake and park views and flows seamlessly into the chef's kitchen, featuring custom inlaid cabinetry, marble countertops, GE Monogram stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, and exceptional storage. One of the distinctive features is its two fully equipped, vented kitchens, each with GE Monogram refrigeration and premium stainless steel appliances. The second kitchen offers exceptional flexibility for entertaining, multigenerational living, a private guest suite, or simply additional cooking, refrigeration, and prep space. This can easily be made into one central kitchen. Windows are found in every room except the fifth bedroom, which is currently configured as an open lofted media/family room. The space can easily be enclosed with the addition of a transom or left open to preserve the expansive feel. Three generously sized bedroom suites include separate dressing areas and professionally designed paneled walk-in closets. Additional conveniences include abundant coat storage and two oversized storage lockers on the same floor, each approximately 6' x 3' x 6'. Comfort is enhanced by the building's four-pipe HVAC system, allowing owners to independently heat or cool the residence year-round with zoned thermostat controls. Heat and air conditioning are included in the monthly HOA assessment. Originally rebuilt in 2010 by Metropolitan Properties of Chicago, Metropolitan Tower combines historic pre-war architecture with modern luxury and today's conveniences. Residents enjoy 24-hour door staff, professional on-site management, a fitness center, bike storage, pet-friendly living, a newly renovated 2,500-square-foot duplex party room, community meeting room, and a spectacular new rooftop deck. Ideally located just steps from Grant Park, Lake Michigan, Museum Campus, Millennium Park, theaters, restaurants, and Chicago's finest cultural attractions, this exceptional residence truly lives like a single-family home in the sky. Monthly HOA assessments include heat, air conditioning, water, cable, internet, trash service, and access to all building amenities.
