Set high above Lake Michigan and Oak Street Beach, this exceptionally rare residence captures sweeping, unobstructed views that stretch from the shoreline to the city skyline-complete with front-row glimpses of Navy Pier fireworks lighting the night sky. Encompassing approximately 2,200 square feet, this is one of only a select few oversized homes within the building, offering a scale and presence seldom available along Lake Shore Drive. Originally designed as a four-bedroom, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined into an expansive primary suite paired with a versatile second bedroom and family room combination. The main living space unfolds with floor-to-ceiling windows, where natural light pours in and frames the ever-changing blues of the lake, creating an airy, effortless sense of openness. The kitchen is perfectly positioned to take in the iconic curve of Lake Shore Drive, offering a dynamic backdrop to everyday living. A gracious entry introduces a well-placed powder room, while custom built-ins and abundant storage are seamlessly integrated throughout. On the west side of the home, equally captivating city views provide a striking contrast to the lakefront panorama. The flexible secondary living space-currently serving as a family room and office-features hidden bifold doors, allowing it to transform into a private ensuite bedroom when desired. An in-unit washer and dryer add convenience, while the boutique nature of the building-just two residences per floor-ensures a sense of privacy and quiet sophistication. Residents of 1240 Lake Shore Drive enjoy a full-service lifestyle with door staff, an onsite engineer, and valet garage parking with car wash service. Above it all, a beautifully designed rooftop deck offers multiple grilling stations, dining areas, lounge seating, and an herb garden, complemented by a fitness room, community space, and additional storage. Perfectly positioned just steps from Michigan Avenue, this residence offers both immediate enjoyment and the opportunity to further personalize a truly special home. The seller will also satisfy the current special assessment for riser replacement in full at closing, offering added peace of mind.
