880 N Lake Shore Drive #4B, Chicago IL 60611
Property Description
A thoughtful renovation brings contemporary comfort to one of Mies van der Rohe's iconic "glass houses" while remaining true to his enduring less-is-more philosophy. This beautifully reimagined one-bedroom residence pairs clean modern design with expansive east-facing lake views framed by the building's original windows.The bright living and dining space features warm flooring and a streamlined kitchen with custom Italian cabinetry, stone countertops and a full suite of high-end Gaggenau appliances. Integrated cabinetry throughout provides generous storage while maintaining the home's clean architectural lines. The bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed and enjoys lake views of its own. Pocket doors at both the bedroom and bathroom maximize space while reinforcing the home's minimalist design. The bathroom has been completely reconfigured and features Calacatta marble finishes, an Italian-made Antoniolupi vanity, Toto Washlet and minimal Graff fixtures - creating a refined, spa-like retreat. The result is a renovation that feels intentional rather than imposed-modernizing the residence while honoring the clarity, proportion and simplicity that define Mies' vision. Set within internationally celebrated 860-880 N Lake Shore Drive, this home offers a rare opportunity to live within an important piece of Chicago architectural history.

Explore Streeterville
Flanked on one side by the crowded sidewalks of Michigan Avenue and the wide open waters of Lake Michigan on the other, Streeterville is home some of the biggest attractions and most visited sites in Chicago. Shop the Magnificent Mile, ride the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier, get culture at the Museum of Contemporary Art and enjoy the vistas from the 94th-floor Observatory at the John Hancock Center, all within a few blocks from your front door. Residents like the architectural grandeur of this small, near north side Chicago neighborhood which also includes iconoclastic landmarks like the ornate Tribune Tower and the Water Tower Place. For living space, towering condominium high-rises are the norm, offering homeowners a high-end lifestyle with a view. Giving up the height but keeping the luxury, three- and four-story brown- and graystones make up the rest of Streeterville real estate. Needless to say, the neighborhood has the best shopping in Chicago with its Mag Mile retailers and flagship department stores. The Streeterville cuisine is just as sought-after, boasting reservation-required restaurants and more casual, family-friendly joints.
