WHEN GREAT JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. .. Jaw dropping, unobstructed views from the top floor of Park Place Tower of the lake, skyline, and Wrigley Field--in a unit completely gutted and nearly every wall moved, creating a floor plan and features unlike any other in the building. Everything about this unit is unique and an upgrade--from the bamboo hardwood flooring with special trim & baseboards to the custom solar shades and recessed LED lighting throughout (only possible on the top floor). Fantastically thoughtful designer touches abound, such as the Lutron dimming light switches and solid core doors throughout to the USB charging ports in the two-toned kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, soft close doors & drawers compliment the Restoration Hardware pulls and sputnik chandelier, as does the under-cabinet lighting. Silestone quartz countertops with a mitered waterfall edge are accented by a full wall marble backsplash, Kohler sink & fixtures, and hidden microwave. Walk into the bathroom and you'll see more of the same fine-tuned attention to detail. Silestone touches & Kohler floating vanity greet you as does more custom recessed lighting and two recessed medicine cabinets--nothing you will see in any standard building renovation here. A ceiling-mounted rain shower as well as an additional hand wand AND an extra-deep soaking tub (all Kohler) are unique to the unit as well, all with the finishing touch of extensive marble. Even the common hallway areas of the penthouse floor--from the wood panel elevator entry to the custom doors--is exceptional and different than the rest of the building. And speaking of the building, Park Place is world-class itself--it has arguably the best fitness center in the area, with all new equipment and furnishings last year and more square feet of space then most. The second floor amenity area is second to none: massive outdoor pool, basketball courts, grills, patio areas, a private movie theatre and gorgeous party room are here for you to enjoy. Award-winning lobby, extensive 24 hour a day staff from door to engineers, and a very healthy reserve round out the list of exceptional details. Parking is available for sale or for rent but not required to buy this unit. .. and it is easy to show. Do not decide you've already "seen enough" condos. .. this one is above the rest, physically and literally!
