About This Home

One of Chicago's most sought-after addresses, 161 E Chicago Ave offers this premier and rarely-available G Tier, one-bedroom residence with unmatched views. Inside, oversized, north-facing windows capture a stunning panorama of the John Hancock Building, Oak Street Beach, Water Tower Place, and Lake Michigan. The open living and dining area is designed around these skyline vistas, with marble tile flooring adding elegance throughout. The kitchen is thoughtfully refined, equipped with stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and an in-unit washer/dryer for everyday ease. The spacious primary suite serves as a serene retreat with a custom walk-in closet and a beautifully integrated built-in system providing abundant storage. The well-appointed bath features a generous vanity, marble finishes, and a jetted soaking tub/shower combination with a handheld sprayer. Abundant storage is found in the hall featuring coat and linen closets which ensure the home is as functional as it is stylish. Beyond the residence, the building itself delivers an unparalleled lifestyle. Rising 63 stories with only 291 homes, 161 E Chicago offers a level of exclusivity rarely found in the city. Five-star amenities include 24-hour concierge and door staff, two fitness centers, an indoor pool and spa, a rooftop deck, and an expansive lounge for entertaining. On-site parking is available for lease, and the building is pet-friendly, welcoming both cats and dogs. Located just off the Magnificent Mile, this home is positioned at the very center of Chicago's best: steps from luxury shopping, fine dining, and the lakefront path.
