About this property
Penthouse living at the Carlyle, offering approximately 3,200 square feet and sweeping panoramic views of the lake and city skyline from its prized south-facing exposure, along with a large east-facing balcony. This exceptional residence was completely reimagined by renowned architect Masami Takayama, resulting in a distinctive floor plan and extraordinary custom finishes, including extensive use of exotic woods. A gracious entry foyer introduces a dramatic, light-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a rare amenity reserved for the top floor, and expansive wall space ideal for art. The raised dining room is positioned to capture enhanced views and features a custom buffet with alabaster detailing. The kitchen includes a glass-front display cabinet and a built-in desk. A richly detailed den or office offers custom built-in bookcases and inlaid doors that conceal a bar. The primary suite is a private retreat with engineered hardwood floors, dual full baths, and custom closets. The second bedroom includes an en suite office with shoji screen doors, providing flexibility for guests or work-from-home. Additional highlights include a refined powder room, a walk-in coat room, in-unit laundry, and a bonus storage room. Garage parking for one car is included, with additional parking available for lease. The Carlyle is a premier full-service building known for its exceptional staff and amenities, including a roof deck, indoor pool, fitness center, and a grand party room. Ideally located at the intersection of the Gold Coast and the Magnificent Mile, it offers a residential setting with immediate access to world-class dining, shopping, and cultural destinations.
