Live at the crossroads of heritage and high design in this sun-drenched southwest corner residence within the legendary Palmolive Building, one of Chicago's most iconic Art Deco masterpieces. Spanning approximately 2,400 square feet, this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home blends classic architecture with modern refinement, just steps from the elegance of Michigan Avenue. A gracious entry foyer with herringbone hardwood floors and gallery walls sets the stage for an interior that's both timeless and livable. The corner living room enjoys south and west exposures with views down Michigan Avenue. A marble-framed gas fireplace, and custom built-ins provides an inviting space that balances grandeur and comfort. The dining area, anchored by a Lindsey Adelman statement fixture, is framed by expansive west-facing windows and offers the perfect setting for intimate gatherings or elegant entertaining. The open chef's kitchen combines style and performance with Varenna cabinetry, granite countertops, Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, and breakfast bar. A powder room with Kallista fixtures, Jonathan Browning sconces, and limestone flooring complements the main living area with understated elegance. The primary suite is a serene retreat featuring corner exposures, abundant sunlight, and two custom walk-in closets. The ensuite bath showcases a soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanity, and limestone finishes throughout. A spacious second bedroom suite with a limestone bath and generous storage provides versatility for guests or a study. Additional features include a full-size laundry room with new (2024) Electrolux washer/dryer, sink, and cabinetry. Residents of the Palmolive enjoy five-star amenities, including 24-hour door staff, on-site management and engineer, a state-of-the-art fitness center with steam room, and the private Beacon Club for entertaining. One valet parking space in the attached garage is included. Located just moments from Michigan Avenue's premier shopping, dining, and cultural landmarks, this home offers a rare opportunity to live within one of Chicago's most prestigious addresses, a residence that is both an architectural icon and a timeless sanctuary.
