About This Home

Presenting a rare opportunity to own a custom-designed penthouse on the 80th floor of the award-winning Aqua Tower-an architectural marvel by globally acclaimed architect Jeanne Gang. This one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence spans 1,830 square feet and offers a sophisticated blend of contemporary design, curated finishes, and sweeping 180-degree views of Lake Michigan, the Chicago skyline, and beyond. Soaring 11-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an expansive private terrace create a stunning indoor-outdoor living experience-perfect for entertaining or simply taking in breathtaking lake sunrises and dramatic city sunsets. The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan provides both privacy and flexibility, ideal for modern living. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with sleek white Snaidero cabinetry, a large center island with storage, Calacatta marble countertops, mosaic backsplash, and top-of-the-line appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. Elegant touches such as designer chandeliers in the foyer and dining area, paired with recessed lighting, elevate the ambiance. The luxurious primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with custom cabinetry, mosaic marble walk-in shower, and refined finishes. A dedicated flex space offers versatility-perfect for a home office, reading nook, or vanity. The generously sized second bedroom includes a custom built-in workspace, large closet, and its own beautifully appointed full bath. Additional features include a stylish powder room, in-unit washer/dryer, and abundant closet space throughout. As a resident of Aqua Tower, you'll enjoy access to an exceptional array of resort-style amenities: indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, cabanas, sundeck, state-of-the-art fitness center, Pilates studio, sauna, steam room, indoor basketball court, private theater, media and billiards rooms, business center, on-site dining, and direct access to the Chicago Pedway.
