Property Description

Welcome to the Chicago Lifestyle. At the corner of legacy and lifestyle stands Unit 3J at 860 N Lake Shore Drive-a residence that's more than a home; it's an immersive experience in architectural history, design integrity, and the ease of elevated urban living. Located in one of Chicago's most iconic residential towers designed by the legendary Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, this northeast corner unit offers a rare opportunity to live within a work of art that has shaped modern architecture around the world. Spanning 1,600 square feet, this meticulously updated 2 Bed + Den / 2 Bath residence reflects Mies' guiding philosophy. Every inch of space is intentional, clean-lined, and designed to invite natural light and sweeping views into daily life. The home's floor-to-ceiling glass walls wrap the unit, providing unbroken sightlines to Lake Michigan, lush treetops, and the rhythm of the city beyond. Facing northeast, it captures the most sought-after exposure-calm, diffused light that changes beautifully throughout the day and serves as a perfect backdrop for art collections, peaceful mornings, and ambient evening gatherings. In 2012, renowned Chicago architect Aric Lasher led a full architectural renovation of the space, thoughtfully crafting a Miesian open plan that harmonizes historic detail with modern needs. A reimagined kitchen, now sleek and streamlined, flows seamlessly into an expansive living and dining area. Elegant flooring grounds the space, offering warm contrast to the minimalist structure. The 2019 renovation further elevated the home by transforming both bathrooms and the primary suite into stunning spaces. While the home itself is extraordinary, the building is its own legend. Completed in 1951, 860 N Lake Shore Drive was one of the first high-rise buildings in the world to showcase steel-and-glass curtain wall construction - becoming a beacon of the International Style. Living here is not only about aesthetics; it's about being part of a legacy that attracts artists, architects, and cultural stewards who are committed to preserving its beauty and significance. Only four residences per floor contribute to a boutique atmosphere. Amenities reflect the building's commitment to service and simplicity: a full-time doorperson, conference room, fitness center, laundry facilities, receiving room, and a rare perk-personal package and dry cleaning delivery directly to your door. Although this unit does not have private outdoor space, Mies believed in bringing the outdoors in. The building's design features dramatic setbacks, expansive green lawns, mature trees, and unobstructed lake views-all visible from inside your home. This is a co-op residence, a form of ownership less common in Chicago but deeply meaningful. Rather than owning your unit outright, you own shares in a corporation that entitles you to occupy your home. The result is a highly engaged and stable community, often leading to meticulous maintenance and a profound sense of shared responsibility. Outside your door, the best of Streeterville unfolds in every direction. This is where art, architecture, nature, and convenience converge. Step out to the Museum of Contemporary Art, stroll through Lake Shore Park, or wander to the lakefront trail to watch cyclists and runners glide by the Play Pen. On Saturdays, start your morning with coffee and a sandwich from Cafecito or The Lunchroom at Space 519, then lose yourself in the latest exhibit at the MCA. Lunch at RL, Nomi, or Le Colonial offers refined moments of escape. As the sun sets, head to Maple & Ash for a decadent dinner and end the evening with cocktails at Sparrow-or maybe even a little dancing at the Drake, when the live music calls. Streeterville is accessible, oneiric, and powerful-a neighborhood that feels simultaneously tucked away and deeply connected. Between Michigan Avenue's luxury and Lake Michigan's calm, this pocket of the city offers a lifestyle that is as refined as it is relaxed.
