The Italian renaissance palazzo facade beckons you inside, where one of only nine exquisite condos in the historic McCormick Mansion awaits. The space is exceptional and unexpected for the Gold Coast, with two bedrooms and two-and-one-half baths in 3,550 square feet, while the style reflects careful remodeling that introduced a modern flourish to this storied home. The drama envelopes you from first glance, with a foyer graced by newly installed marble checkerboard floors and ebony walls. Tucked on the other side of the entry, a private home office offers a stylish place to work without interruption - and without losing prime living or lounging space. The expansive great room is highlighted by a beautifully designed living room decked out from its parquet floors to its statement stone fireplace to it coffered ceilings. Floor-to-ceiling wainscotting and multiple windows provide the perfect backdrop for the sunny dining room, which flows directly into the chef's kitchen. This gorgeous, fully renovated space features a large eat-in island, two-tone cabinetry topped by sleek counters, designer tile, professional stainless-steel appliances including a Wolf range, and a charming built-in window seat - one of the many details that add cherished character throughout the residence. A second living area with built-ins can be closed off from the great room for privacy. Spread out in the luxe primary suite, which is large enough to accommodate an ample sitting area. The primary bath features one of the more spectacular double walk-in showers you'll find, and the glamorous walk-in closet with custom boutique-style wardrobes is equally alluring. The additional en-suite bedroom and bath reveal gracious updated space for family or guests, a second built-in desk is ideal for kids' homework or dual work-from-home households, and radiant floors on this level keep everyone comfortable. The terrace provides valuable outdoor space, overlooking a landscaped courtyard. When you're ready to venture beyond, you're just a short walk to Gold Coast restaurants, Michigan Avenue, the park, the lakefront, and transportation. Prefer to drive? You'll appreciate being able to come home to a covered parking space included with the home.
