Condo For Sale near Lake Michigan - Cook County

The first penthouse resale at The Orchard Private Residences, this expansive 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath East Lincoln Park home offers the scale and comfort of a single-family residence with the light, views, and security of full-service condominium living. Occupying the building's premier tier, it features panoramic city and lake views, a large terrace off the main living space, and an extraordinary private rooftop deck. Designed by Soucie Horner, the interiors blend warmth and sophistication with 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and wide-plank white oak floors. Thoughtful upgrades by the current owner, completed with designer Carey Elder, include custom built-ins, motorized shades, curated lighting, and tailored wallcoverings throughout. The elevator opens directly into a private foyer, creating a true sense of arrival. The southeast-facing living room, anchored by a limestone fireplace and custom library wall, flows seamlessly to the dining room and terrace, offering exceptional space for entertaining. The Christopher Peacock kitchen rivals that of a luxury single-family residence, appointed with hand-painted cabinetry, walnut interiors, quartzite counters, a substantial walnut island, and top-tier SubZero and Wolf appliances. All four bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned in a private west wing. The primary suite offers generous proportions, dual walk-in closets, and a spa bath with Waterworks fixtures, a freestanding tub, an oversized shower, a Toto washlet, and heated marble floors. The secondary bedrooms feature en-suite baths and ample custom storage; one is currently configured as a home office with an integrated Murphy bed. The nearly 500-square-foot private rooftop terrace wraps the south end of the building and includes an outdoor kitchen by Chicago Urban Rooftops, porcelain pavers, and a green roof, creating a true outdoor retreat with skyline views. Additional highlights include year-round zoned heating and cooling, two side-by-side garage spaces with direct elevator access, and secure entry. Residents enjoy full-service amenities including 24-hour door staff, a beautifully designed lobby, fitness center with Technogym equipment and Pilates reformer, concierge services, and a shared rooftop garden with grilling stations and lounge areas. Access to The Towers Collection amenities further expands the lifestyle offering with a rooftop pool, spa, lounge spaces, guest suite, and more. For those seeking room to live and entertain, abundant light, and a seamless lock-and-leave lifestyle, this penthouse delivers an exceptional alternative to single-family living.
