Overview

There are few buildings in Chicago as iconic as the Palmolive Building-and none can compete with its premier Gold Coast location between the Mag Mile and Oak Street Beach. And then there's its striking Art Deco architecture and cooler-than-cool history... (the 37-story skyscraper was the Playboy Building from 1965-1989.) As all Chicagoans can attest, these posh Palmolive residences are rarely attainable, especially a unit like 19B that boasts an 800-square-foot private outdoor terrace with unrivaled views of Lake Michigan. One of only two residences on the 19th floor, 19B reads like a sophisticated pied-a-terre thanks to an effortless floor plan that encompasses 3,100 interior square feet of easy living and elevated entertaining. Capitalizing on the captivating lake views at every turn, this 2-bedroom/2.1-bath home makes a sophisticated first impression courtesy of first-class millwork, 10-foot-high ceilings and herringbone hardwood floors. The dining room overlooks the famous dogleg curve on Lake Shore Drive and leads to a gorgeous eat-in chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and a mix of Sub-Zero, Miele and Wolf appliances. While the formal living room links to the terrace, there's also a handsome mahogany paneled den with custom built-ins for lounging with a good book or coming together on family movie nights (option to convert into a 3rd bedroom). The master bedroom with spa-like ensuite (think marble accents and a colossal soaking tub) also connects to the terrace and flaunts eye-catching crown molding and a pair of walk-in closets. A built-in bar with wine fridge, integrated surround sound, inherited statement lighting, a standalone laundry room and two parking spots round out the plush perks. (White glove building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, on-site concierge services, valet parking, and a professional gym and whirlpool within the Beacon Club.) Welcome to the good life.
