Welcome to**An Exceptional Art Deco Inspired Home Reflecting the Sophisticated Glamour of the 1920's Era! Fully renovated and exquisitely decorated by a Board Director, unit 2C is a glamorous, turnkey designer property with a state-of-the-art kitchen and primary bathroom. This unique residence features nine-foot ceilings, beautifully stained hardwood floors, natural light flooding every living area, and inspiring lake and Loyola campus views from every room. The unit is nestled on a high 2nd floor in the "Devonshire" building designed by McNally/Quinn in 1924. It is located on the Sheridan Road corridor across from Lake Michigan, in the coveted Edgewater area. The residence's stunning black and white marble bathroom is a lavish retreat. Its glamourous aesthetic celebrates the building's architectural period and vintage charm. The original cast iron bathtub was re-glazed to reflect its streamlined Art Deco beauty, while a 1920's inspired mirrored vanity with Carrera marble sink and gold trim, a sumptuous gold edged mirror, crystal and gold sink and bathtub faucets, and an Old World-inspired crystal and brass ceiling light evoke the timeless, sophisticated elegance of a luxurious Belle Epoque Parisian "salle de bains." Enjoy a glass of champagne and your favorite music as you indulge in a decadent bath or treat yourself to an invigorating shower with the Delta Victorian 3-spray shower system in polished brass. The generously proportioned boudoir features a Beaux-Arts ceiling medallion and a vintage brass and glass pendant, which once graced a Lake Forest estate. Wake up to beautiful lake views and enjoy a morning cappuccino while taking in the ever-changing poetry of Chicago's enchanting four seasons from your private sanctuary. The gourmet kitchen is an inviting culinary oasis for home chefs, with custom modern black cabinetry, under lighting, and gold pulls. The designer sink and goose neck faucet in gold finishes and white quartz countertops compliment the striking Grand Rialto polished porcelain back splash. An Art Moderne style ceiling pendant in polished brass evokes the lavish splendor of the 1930's SS Normandie ocean liner. The high end stainless steel appliances include a GE slim profile counter depth refrigerator, which is a work of art in both form and function. The elegant 30-inch Frigidaire Gallery Front Control gas range features air fry capability and the 18-inch WIFI-capable Haeir dishwasher offers a 3 level wash system. In the dining area, a banquette upholstered in luxurious saddle colored leather provides seating for romantic candlelight dinners or for cocktails and conversation inspired by the music of Cole Porter and by the equally captivating lake views beyond. A sculptured Kelly Wearstler chandelier in antique gold integrates the fascination of past and present eras and provides a breathtaking centerpiece for the dining area. The expansive living room boasts a wall of windows facing Lake Michigan and the historic Loyola campus, with its magnificent early twentieth century mansion, Piper Hall built in 1909, and nationally recognized Art Deco buildings, such as the Mundelein College Skyscraper built in 1929, and the stunning Madonna Della Strada Chapel built in 1938.
