Welcome to a distinctive condominium situated in the heart of Fort Sheridan. Constructed in 1893 and designed by Holabird & Roche, this building initially functioned as the Infantry Drill Hall, before being repurposed as a gymnasium. In a meticulous transformation, this historic building has been artfully converted into 11 uniquely designed condominiums. The featured end unit, with triple exposures - east, north, and south, unfolds a panorama of natural beauty, light, and space. The majestic, wide, rounded arch entrance on the eastern facade has been innovatively repurposed into magnificent, expansive windows, flooding the space with natural light and creating a vibrant, airy ambiance. Culinary creativity meets modern design in your dream kitchen. This sleek and contemporary space is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, including SubZero refrigerator and freezer, Bosch dishwasher, and a FiveStar stove with 6 burners and 2 ovens. The kitchen's marble island with it's large breakfast bar is perfect for casual dining or entertaining. The generous eating area with floor-to-ceiling windows bathes the space in natural light, offering a delightful spot to enjoy meals. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the family room, creating a harmonious open-concept layout. Both the kitchen and family room boast impressive 16-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, providing easy access to a sprawling 38-foot long balcony. From here, you can soak in the views of the meadow and pond, adding a touch of tranquility to your daily life. This thoughtfully designed kitchen and family room combination offers an inviting space for both culinary creativity and relaxation. The primary bedroom offers a serene retreat with 13-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and access to a private balcony facing the iconic water tower.
