About this home
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....
