The large primary suite is designed for relaxation, with two walk-in closets, north and east views, and an en suite bath that includes a double vanity, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and tasteful finishes. The half bath is also elegantly appointed. This condo includes an in-unit washer and dryer, generous closet space, and a large storage locker conveniently located on the same floor for easy access. Residents enjoy access to full-service amenities, including 24-hour concierge and door staff, an indoor pool and spa, two fitness centers, a rooftop deck, and a party room. Situated just steps from Michigan Avenue, this location is unparalleled, with Chicago's best restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions nearby. Parking options are available for rent.
