Perched on the 11th floor of the iconic 1929 Art Deco Powhatan, this exceptional residence offers a rare combination of luxury, elegance, and comfort. Widely regarded as one of the building's finest apartments, this expansive single-level home is larger than many houses and showcases breathtaking lake and park views, among the best in the city. Meticulously renovated and presented in move-in condition, the residence is flooded with natural light and thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and everyday living. Highlights include a stunning chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, an estate-sized butler's pantry, a formal dining room, soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, a beautiful fireplace with a hand-carved mantel, two-zone central air conditioning, and a spacious in-unit laundry room. The private living quarters feature three generously sized bedrooms, abundant closet space, and beautifully re-imagined en-suite baths, including dual primary baths. The Powhatan is renowned for its striking Art Deco architecture and distinguished amenities, including a restored lobby, indoor swimming pool, fitness center, and a spectacular rooftop ballroom with expansive terraces for outdoor dining and entertaining. This full-service co-op offers 24-hour door staff, valet parking, elevator attendants, on-site maintenance personnel, and private storage. Monthly assessments include parking, real estate taxes, and an unparalleled level of service. Significant capital improvements completed over the past decade have further enhanced the building's infrastructure and long-term value. A truly one-of-a-kind residence in one of Chicago's most celebrated landmark buildings.
