Beautifully rehabbed & spacious sun-filled 2 bedroom/2 bath unit at the Promontory, Mies van der Rohe's first Chicago masterpiece (listed on the National Register of Historic Places). This rarely available unit in the C tier was recently gutted and done to the 9's with the highest-end design concepts and materials possible. The brand new designer kitchen was rebuilt from the ground up and is a combination of form and function, created by the revered Italian design firm BOFFI. The Boffi designers re-imagined the kitchen that Mies would have created in 2019. Simple, clean surfaces, straight lines, and stainless steel counter-tops. Everything to scale. Each cupboard is a unique design experience, giving you a maximum of space and ease, melded into one. The kitchen appliances are top-of-the-line European brands. The oven is crafted by Gaggenau, renowned for their distinct, spare designs. The doors are handle-free, for the true connoisseur of minimalism, and there's even a steam oven on top! The built-in refrigerator/freezer is also by Gaggenau, and it is sub-zero. The induction range is by Wolf. This sleek, modern range provides speed, control and consistency, with a brilliant look and feel that fits in perfectly with the minimalist Mies aesthetic. Both of the bathrooms have been completely renovated, with top-of-the-line fixtures. The Japanese and European designs blend seamlessly with the architecture, and provide a feeling of calmness and serenity. Details like the original mirrors keep the integrity of this high concept space. The master bath boasts a luxurious Toto toilet complete with lighting and warming features. The closet systems in the master bedroom were also designed and created in Italy by Boffi. These high-end, built-in closets boast automatic lighting that goes on and off when you open and close the doors. The made-to-order drawers were artfully placed for utmost ease and taste. There is an amazing amount of storage, all of it stunning, in gorgeous natural wood. The wood floors have all been refurbished as well, the blonde color is extraordinary. Last but not least, the living room which boasts over-sized windows that offer superb light and gorgeous sunsets. Mies fans will be overjoyed at the original, pristine, built-in, wooden cabinets and display areas. This is truly a design lovers' dream. Monthly assessments include all taxes, heat, water, electricity, cable and internet! This excellent building has a well-run co-op board, on-site management, and ample reserves with no "specials". There is a 24-hour Door Person plus Intercom Security. In-building laundry and fitness facility. Close to Promontory Point and University of Chicago, with easy access to Lake Shore Drive and Metra/CTA. Close to all of Hyde Park eateries ranging from quick meals to fine-dining, as well as to excellent shopping and entertainment.
