Description

Step into the luxurious Astor Tower penthouse, a meticulously designed masterpiece offering breathtaking panoramic views of the iconic Chicago skyline and the expansive beauty of Lake Michigan. Meticulously renovated, residence 28A is a haven for aficionados of timeless modernism. The year-long transformation of this unit, featuring southern, eastern, and western exposures, left no detail unattended. The grandeur of oversized Carrara marble slabs immediately captivates, setting the tone for the entire space. Crafted on-site, every piece of millwork, from sliding walls to wardrobes and the kitchen, showcases the richness of solid African Sapele Mahogany with prized ribbon grain. The thoughtful design maximizes the half-floor footprint, creating a seamless flow throughout. Limestone floors guide the gaze outward to the stunning views, while the Sapele Mahogany imparts a warm and cohesive ambiance. The custom-designed kitchen, an architectural marvel, boasts Sapele cabinetry, a cleverly concealed pantry, exquisite Carrara marble countertops, and backsplash, as well as top-tier appliances by Sub-Zero, Gaggenau, and Miele. The primary suite is a sanctuary with unobstructed city and western views, complemented by a Sapele Mahogany wall featuring built-in floating nightstands.

The primary bath invites relaxation with a soaking tub overlooking the mesmerizing views and an oversized, all-marble walk-in shower. Solid Sapele sliding doors provide flexibility, allowing the closure of the second bedroom from the living areas. This room features an integrated desk, a hidden TV, and a built-in floating daybed that effortlessly transforms into a queen-sized bed. Additional highlights include a well-appointed marble guest bathroom, in-unit laundry, concealed storage, remote-controlled blinds, and a built-in sound system. Once the Astor Tower Hotel, designed by Bertrand Goldberg, this architectural gem housed luminaries like The Beatles, Judy Garland, and Audrey Hepburn. Today, Astor Tower stands as a meticulously managed, full-service building with 24-hour door staff, on-site management and maintenance, a fitness room, and a rooftop deck with grills offering 360-degree views. Boasting a near-perfect walk score, residence 28A is just steps away from dining, shopping, nightlife, Oak Street, Michigan Ave., Lake Michigan, and Lincoln Park.
