Welcome to the Astor Tower penthouse, a jewel box designed around the iconic unobstructed Chicago skyline and ample Lake Michigan views. Architecturally remodeled, 28A is perfect for those seeking timeless modernism. Renovation of the unit, with its southern, eastern and western exposures, took over a year as no detail was overlooked. The oversized Carrara marble slabs are impressive. Every piece of millwork from the sliding wall to the wardrobes and kitchen is from solid African Sapele Mahogany (with prized ribbon grain), all hand-manufactured on-site. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to maximize the half-floor footprint. Limestone floors light the home, coaxing the eye outside to that view, while the Sapele Mahogany warms and unifies the space. The custom-designed and on-site constructed kitchen features Sapele cabinetry, including an ingeniously concealed pantry, gorgeous Carrara marble countertops and backsplash, and high-end appliances by Sub-Zero, Gaggenau and Miele. The primary suite features unobstructed city and western views and a Sapele Mahogany wall with built-in floating nightstands. The primary bath offers a soaking tub to relax while savoring those views and an oversized, all-marble walk-in shower. The solid Sapele sliding doors allow you to close off a 2nd bedroom from the living areas when needed. The 2nd bedroom features an integrated desk, a hidden TV and a built-in floating daybed that quickly converts to a queen-sized bed. This exquisite home has a well-appointed marble guest bathroom, in-unit laundry, concealed storage throughout, remote-controlled blinds and a built-in sound system. Attached Garage Parking, $50k. Sellers paid capital improvements special assessment that includes riser and chiller replacements and repairs to the facade, columns and canopy. Formerly the Astor Tower Hotel designed by Bertrand Goldberg, it was home to stars such as The Beatles, Judy Garland, Audrey Hepburn and many more. Astor Tower is an architecturally significant, well-managed, full-service building with 24-hour door staff, on-site management and maintenance, a fitness room and a rooftop deck-with grills- boasting 360-degree views. With a near-perfect walk score, 28A is steps away from major CTA buses, the L, dining, shopping, nightlife, Oak Street, Michigan Ave., Lake Michigan, and Lincoln Park.
