    What's special

    Available for the first time in 50 years, the Ph at 1500 Lake Shore Drive stands as Chicago's most significant residential property. Set atop one of the cities most iconic cooperatives, this one-of-a-kind residence has the distinction of being famed NY architect, Rosario Candela's only residential commission in Chicago, and outside of NY. Encompassing the entire top floor, with unobstructed views in all directions, this urban oasis feels like an Italianate villa on Lake Como. Boasting rooms at a scale rarely seen the floor plan features 8000 interior sq ft, direct elevator access into a grand formal entry, 6 bedrooms, 6.1 baths, 40ft long, walnut-paneled gallery hall with vaulted ceilings finished in a fresco theme, a living room with 20ft original coffered ceilings, paneled bar, formal dining, library, and multiple bonus rooms. Original bronze hardware, stone carvings, and hand-carved original doors are just some of the details that are present in the extraordinary residence. Take in the picturesque lake views from over 5000 sqft of outdoor space inclusive of an east-facing, manicured yard replete with covered loggia, fountain, mature trees in a setting that would rival any in the country. With so many unique features, this home needs to be toured to truly understand not only its prominence in Chicago but its prominence as one of the most sophisticated apartments ever built.
