Developer's Penthouse | Rare Duplex Residence with Three Private Terraces Originally designed as the developer's own residence, this one-of-a-kind duplex penthouse offers the comfort and functionality of a home with the convenience of condominium living. Spanning approximately 2,606 square feet across two levels and complemented by nearly 400 square feet of private outdoor living across three terraces, the residence features exceptional scale, 9-foot ceilings on the main level, and east and south exposures showcasing the Chicago skyline with partial views of Lake Michigan. A gracious foyer creates an elegant first impression and opens to light-filled living spaces where bamboo hardwood floors, custom millwork, designer lighting, Belgian linen sheer draperies, and a gas fireplace with granite surround establish a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. The extensively renovated first floor flows effortlessly from one gathering space to the next, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The custom kitchen is beautifully appointed with an oversized center island topped in Caesarstone, abundant custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a thoughtfully curated collection of high-end Monogram, Gaggenau, Electrolux, and Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a built-in wine refrigerator. Custom pocket doors create a flexible den equally suited as a home office, library, or additional gathering space. As the largest residence in Buena Pointe, the thoughtfully designed floor plan offers an uncommon combination of spacious living areas, exceptional storage, and flexibility rarely found in condominium living. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a walk-in closet, en suite bath with dual vanities, and its own terrace. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a generous laundry room complete the upper level. Together, the home's three private terraces create an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, offering multiple places to enjoy morning coffee, entertain friends, or simply unwind while taking in the skyline and glimpses of Lake Michigan. Additional highlights include a dedicated storage locker and two deeded garage parking spaces in a premium location within the building's only private parking alcove, originally retained by the developer. Buena Pointe is a pet-friendly elevator building with inviting resident amenities, including rooftop and second-floor entertaining spaces and a beautifully landscaped private garden. Ideally located in Buena Park, you're just moments from Lake Michigan, Montrose Harbor, parks, shopping, dining, the Wilson CTA station, and Lake Shore Drive.
Buena Park, located between Montrose Avenue and Irving Park Road, is a residential and lakefront Chicago neighborhood with historic courtyard buildings and a quiet, tree-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sheridan Road and Montrose Avenue corridor, where corner cafes, small eateries, and lakefront foot traffic set the daily rhythm. The Uptown Theatre and the Aragon Ballroom sit nearby as marquee cultural anchors, with the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge adding late-night jazz lore. Brick walk-ups and vintage mid-rises define many blocks, with pockets of landmark-era detailing. Montrose Beach and the lakefront trail shape routines with open water views and long promenades. Transit nodes along the Red Line keep the area connected while preserving a calmer residential feel.
