Description
High above the city, where the skyline meets the shoreline, this fully reimagined residence in the iconic John Hancock Building offers a rare blend of architectural intention and refined comfort. Completed in October 2024, the full renovation transformed the home into a modern sanctuary-designed and personally curated by an interior designer and architect. From the moment you enter, the elevated craftsmanship is unmistakable. Raised ceilings, solid wood doors, custom millwork, and wide-plank luxury flooring create warmth and cohesion throughout. The open-concept layout was thoughtfully redesigned to enhance both flow and functionality, while two expansive north-facing windows frame uninterrupted views of Chicago's iconic lakefront - an ever-changing work of art by day and night. The kitchen was conceived as both centerpiece and gathering space. Soft-close Kemper cabinetry with hidden organizers, Cambria quartz surfaces, a striking Basalt Nova marble mosaic backsplash with gold accents, and Samsung Bespoke smart appliances come together in a design that is as beautiful as it is intelligent. Every finish was selected with purpose. The primary suite feels like a boutique hotel retreat-quietly luxurious, wrapped in custom details including sound-insulated walls, a professionally organized walk-in closet, and motorized designer shades. The spa-inspired bath is clad in Carrara marble and appointed with Kohler fixtures and refined lighting, delivering a daily ritual of calm. The secondary bedroom and bath continue the narrative of thoughtful design, incorporating heated flooring, custom storage, and a salvaged historic Chicago transom that preserves privacy while subtly capturing lake views-an unexpected architectural moment. Behind the beauty lies substance: all-new plumbing and electrical systems, three individually controlled HVAC units with Nest integration, full asbestos abatement, rebuilt walls, in-unit laundry, and meticulous soundproofing. This is not a cosmetic update-it is a comprehensive reconstruction. Set within the iconic 175 East Delaware Place, also known as the John Hancock Building, residents enjoy a full-amenity lifestyle highlighted by the spectacular 44th-floor amenities level-offering some of the best panoramic views in the city. The building features a professionally equipped fitness center, indoor pool, 2 party rooms, 24/7/365 door staff, on-site management and engineers, receiving room, and everyday conveniences including Potash Markets grocery, dry cleaner, and seamstress services. Very walkable to some of Chicago's favorites: Oak Street Beach, superb restaurants, world class museums, farmers' markets and the many festivals during Chicago's terrific summer, and the best is having front row seats to Chicago's famous Air and Water Show every August. This is a turnkey, design-driven residence where every detail has already been elevated. Simply move in and begin living above it all. Welcome home!
