Welcome to Unit 8C at The Aquitania - an exceptional opportunity to live in one of Chicago's most coveted historic buildings. This luxurious, spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bath co-op[erative] apartment offers an unparalleled living experience in the heart of the Margate Park neighborhood, nestled within the vibrant Uptown community. Unit 8C exudes classic elegance, with an expansive 1,200-square-foot layout featuring high ceilings, beautiful wood and travertine flooring, and detailed moldings. Large windows in the living room and dining room showcase stunning, direct views of Lake Michigan. Additional views of the lake can also be seen from the kitchen and butler's pantry/office, offering a picturesque backdrop even from more distant angles. The Kaufman Segal-designed kitchen is a standout, boasting marble countertops, a professional-grade Viking stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and custom cabinetry. The adjoining butler's pantry/office extends the marble detail and serves as a flexible space for entertaining or working from home. The bathroom was completely renovated in 2017, reimagined with elegant, high-end finishes that complement the home's historic charm. Thoughtfully designed with clean lines, timeless materials, and a spa-like atmosphere, this space balances luxury and functionality, creating a serene retreat within the residence. Additional luxury touches include: -- Built-in speaker system in the bedroom, living room, kitchen, and dining room -- Custom Calico Corners blinds throughout -- Electrical pre-wiring for sconces (discreetly placed behind artwork) The Aquitania is an iconic, early 20th-century building on the National Register of Historic Places. With just 82 residences, it offers timeless elegance, modern convenience, and a welcoming community-all set against the backdrop of Chicago's historic lakefront.
