One-of-a-Kind Residence in Mies van der Rohe’s Iconic Glass House! Welcome to residence 8L, a rare and architecturally significant home located in Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s renowned “glass house.” This architectural gem has been featured in Crain’s Business Week and included in the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s “Living with Mies” tour. Thoughtfully reimagined by acclaimed architect Vladimir Radutny, the condo has been meticulously renovated. Situated in a historically important Streeterville building, the home offers breathtaking city and lake views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Enjoy Navy Pier’s weekly fireworks right from your living room. The interiors feature custom-cut, slate-gray Italian porcelain radiant-heated floors, frosted glass walls and doors, and in-wall color-adjustable “light painting” lighting. Lightology’s “line-of-light” system sets the perfect ambiance for entertaining. The sleek, modern kitchen includes top-of-the-line appliances: Liebherr refrigerator, in-wall Miele induction oven and microwave, Bosch dishwasher, induction cooktop, and custom white lacquer cabinetry. Additional highlights include remote-controlled electric shades on all windows and ample custom closets throughout. Both bathrooms are outfitted with Robern floating sinks, large-format Thassos white marble wall tiles by Ann Sacks, Grohe fixtures, and Porcelanosa silent toilets. All bedrooms are generously sized and filled with natural light. This building offers exceptional amenities: 24/7 door staff and maintenance, on-site management, in-building heated garage with valet rental options, fitness center, and a party room. The location is unmatched-just steps from the lakefront trail, Oak Street Beach, and the best of world-class shopping and dining on Oak Street and the Magnificent Mile. Cultural attractions like Second City, Zanies, the Chicago History Museum, and the MCA are all within walking distance. This home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in one of Chicago’s most desirable neighborhoods.
