Property Description

Timeless elegance and modern luxury converge at 179 E. Lake Shore Drive, Unit 25W. Set within one of Chicago's most exclusive cooperative residences - the iconic Drake Tower, connected to the historic Drake Hotel - this fully renovated half-floor home offers a rare opportunity to own a premier, turnkey residence in the heart of the Gold Coast. Encompassing approximately 3,045 square feet, this meticulously reimagined 3 bed/3.5 bath residence masterfully blends restored pre-war detailing with contemporary infrastructure and refined designer finishes. The result is a tranquil, gallery-like environment that's as well suited to sophisticated entertaining as it is to elevated everyday living. A graceful foyer leads into the grand, north-facing living room, where expansive windows frame unobstructed views of Oak Street Beach. Adjacent, the formal dining room boasts dual exposures to Lake Michigan and Oak Street, creating a dramatic setting for intimate dinners or gatherings. The custom-designed Boffi kitchen is appointed with minimalist cabinetry and a suite of professional-grade Gaggenau appliances - a chef's dream in a clean architectural envelope. A discreet powder room with a floating marble sink completes the public space. The private bedroom wing begins with a custom-designed library corridor and continues to three south- and west-facing bedrooms, each with its own luxuriously appointed en-suite bath. All bathrooms feature Boffi vanities, Vola or Boffi fixtures, and Waterworks marble tile, underscoring the home's commitment to design excellence. The primary and guest bedrooms include spacious walk-in closets. The third bedroom is currently styled as a music room, though it easily transitions to a guest suite or home office. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the home has been modernized with electronic window treatments, new A/C units, and integrated humidification systems. Constructed in 1929 the Drake Tower is renowned for its white-glove service, vintage charm, and one of the most sought-after addresses in the city - at the intersection of Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue, just steps from Oak Street Beach, the lakefront trail, and world-class shopping and dining. Residents enjoy 24-hour door staff, a fitness center, a beautifully landscaped owners' terrace, and direct interior access to the hotel. A generous private storage room is included and valet parking is available on-site at a preferential rate. For discerning buyers seeking an exceptional, move-in-ready residence that offers architectural pedigree, bespoke design, and a premier Gold Coast location, Unit 25W at 179 E. Lake Shore Drive is truly without parallel.

MY BLOGS

THE FRONT PORCH SWING

Oh, the memories. I remember my girls spending countless hours swinging front to back and side to side, hanging out with the neighborhood kids, splashing with the water hose, or crafting top-secret plans with their imaginations. It was awesome. How times have changed. With my two youngest girls slowly nearing college graduation and my older girls working hard in their careers, the days of simple life are taken over by group texts and long-distance daily check-ins. It's just not the same.

less is more, unless, it's for less.

Each day, I'd get my MLS home showing sheets ready, the electronic key card that opens lock-boxes, get dressed with minutes turning into seconds frantically starring at the time ticking away. All ready but just need to ...find ....one matching sock.
