About This Home

Masterfully reimagined by acclaimed architectural firm Brininstool + Lynch, this extraordinary Olympia Centre residence underwent a complete, no-expense-spared renovation, transforming it into a sophisticated contemporary showpiece with exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The thoughtfully redesigned floor plan offers expansive open living and entertaining spaces, two luxurious bedroom suites, a versatile multipurpose room, two full baths, a beautifully appointed powder room, and abundant custom storage. The stunning chef's kitchen showcases imported Ernestomeda cabinetry from Italy, Vicostone quartz countertops, a substantial integrated dining table, and a fully integrated suite of Miele appliances complemented by a Liebherr refrigerator. Refined finishes continue throughout with wide-plank white oak flooring, Antonio Lupi Italian vanities, Graff fixtures, Rimadesio glass doors, architectural LED lighting, and Hunter Douglas shades. Beyond its remarkable design, the residence was completely rebuilt with new plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems and controls, fire sprinklers, and a commercial-grade steam humidification system, delivering the comfort and reliability of essentially new construction. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry and a large private storage room conveniently located on the same floor. Olympia Centre is one of Chicago's premier full-service luxury residences, offering 24-hour door staff, concierge service, an indoor pool, fitness center, sauna, whirlpool, sundeck, party room, and a pet-friendly lifestyle. Ideally located just steps from the Magnificent Mile's world-class shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and cultural attractions, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind home where timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unrivaled Gold Coast lifestyle come together seamlessly.
