Property Description

Perched atop a premier high-rise in Evanston, this rarely available, freshly painted penthouse offers an exceptional blend of space, light, and sweeping views. Floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive skylights flood the home with natural light while showcasing breathtaking panoramic vistas to the west, south, and east-including year-round views of the Chicago skyline. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features a spacious living room with 9-foot ceilings and dramatic windows, creating an open and airy atmosphere. A skylit dining area flows seamlessly into a sleek, remodeled galley kitchen complete with quartz countertops, a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, 42" cabinetry, and modern finishes. The large primary suite includes a beautifully updated en-suite bath with a walk-in shower and oversized vanity with abundant storage. A generous second bedroom-ideal as a guest room or home office-is conveniently located across from a second full bath featuring a tub/shower combination. Both bathrooms are enhanced by oversized skylights, bringing in natural light even during the winter months. Step outside onto your private balcony and take in stunning sunrises and sunsets along with uninterrupted 365-degree views. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, ample closet space, and two included garage parking spaces with rental potential. Residents enjoy access to full-service amenities, including a 24-hour door staff on weekends, secure package handling, a newly remodeled lobby, an indoor pool, hot tub, and a state-of-the-art fitness center that opens to a beautifully landscaped outdoor patio with grills and seating areas. Ideally located in vibrant downtown Evanston, just steps from Northwestern University, this home offers unmatched convenience, style, and lifestyle appeal.
