Step into timeless sophistication with this meticulously renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence at The Fordham-one of Chicago's most prestigious luxury addresses. This home offers sweeping north and east exposures with views of Holy Name Cathedral and Lake Michigan. A private balcony with a built-in gas line provides sweeping views of the city. The current owners collaborated with an interior designer and architect to execute a comprehensive, no-expense-spared transformation. At the heart of the home is a show-stopping custom kitchen, featuring handcrafted cabinetry, Taj Mahal leathered quartzite countertops, an Ann Sacks piano tile backsplash, and a full suite of Thermador appliances. All new plumbing fixtures, garbage disposal, and a top-of-the-line LG tower washer/dryer ensure modern functionality. Throughout the residence, engineered hardwood flooring and polished nickel Kohler fixtures complement the elevated finishes. All doors have been replaced and fitted with Emtek Lucerne hardware. Custom millwork and baseboard add architectural richness, while all-new window treatments-including a custom silk shade on the patio door-enhance the overall sense of luxury. Every surface has been refreshed. The living room is anchored by a contemporary gas fireplace with a fossilized limestone surround and integrated built-ins, including a dedicated wine cabinet-ideal for entertaining. Tray ceilings with custom soffit lighting define the living room, kitchen, hallway, and primary suite, adding warmth and dimension. All lighting has been updated to statement fixtures. The primary suite is generously sized to accommodate a king bed and features dual Elfa-organized closets. Its ensuite bath is clad in polished Carrera marble and includes dual vanities, premium lighting, and custom under cabinet lighting. The second bedroom offers versatility as a guest room or home office, while the adjacent bath stuns with a dramatic quartzite vanity wall, custom cabinetry, and spa-quality finishes. This ideal split floor plan offers privacy between bedrooms. This unit includes a private storage unit in a full-amenity building: 24-hour door staff, pool, gym, theater, wine cellar, humidor, and more! Storage locker #422 included in the price. Parking space P-729 is an additional $35, 000.
