About this home

Step into a South Loop penthouse loft that feels more SoHo than Chicago. Set within a classic industrial building, this expansive residence blends authentic loft architecture with a warm, design-forward aesthetic rarely found in today's construction. Exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, skylights, and warm maple flooring create a space that feels both dramatic and effortlessly livable. The heart of the home is an expansive open-concept living space anchored by an oversized butcher block island, reclaimed wood shelving, and a professional-grade Thermador kitchen that feels curated rather than manufactured. Natural light pours across the home throughout the day, while the scale of the living and dining areas offers the kind of volume buyers crave. Thoughtful renovations introduced custom steel-and-glass doors, updated baths, and a lofted office above the 2nd bedroom overlooking the main living space. The primary suite feels quietly luxurious with thoughtful details, and a spa-inspired bath finished with subway tile and Restoration Hardware vanity. Above it all, a private rooftop deck offers an outdoor escape rarely found - even including an outdoor shower. 3 parking spaces including a private garage included. This is a rare opportunity to own a true character-filled penthouse loft in the South Loop - the kind of space that becomes harder to find every year.
