Property Description 1955 N Halsted Street #PH, Chicago, IL, 60614
Set atop a boutique three-unit building in Lincoln Park, this extra-wide penthouse duplex offers the scale and presence of a single-family home with the ease of condominium living. A private elevator opens directly into the residence, while an attached garage makes daily life effortless. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and wide-plank hardwood floors create a home defined by volume, natural light, and exceptional finishes. Above it all, a private rooftop terrace occupying its own full level captures sweeping 360-degree views of the Chicago skyline. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features two distinct living areas across two levels, each anchored by its own fireplace. The upper-level lounge is paired with a custom bar and dedicated beverage center, while detailed millwork, paneled wainscoting, designer lighting, and bespoke built-ins add architectural depth throughout. The chef's kitchen balances beauty and function with custom cabinetry, a waterfall island with seating, under-cabinet lighting, a prep sink, pot filler, and a full suite of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, including three separate ovens. Two Miele dishwashers and a built-in wine refrigerator support both daily living and larger-scale entertaining. A butler's pantry with additional storage and a walk-in pantry with custom shelving provide exceptional organization. Five generously sized bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, and work-from-home living. The private primary suite includes two custom walk-in closets with interior lighting and a spa bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, heated floors, and a double shower with two rain heads, two shower heads, and a body spray. A steam shower enhances the guest bath, while the fifth bedroom serves equally well as a guest suite or private office. A built-in workstation on the main level adds further versatility. The approximately 1,800-square-foot rooftop terrace is designed as a true extension of the home, complete with a built-in pergola, gas fire pit, outdoor television area, and dedicated dog run. Four additional outdoor spaces extend from the main residence, including a first-floor deck with a gas line for grilling. A dedicated mudroom creates a practical drop zone to keep everyday clutter tucked away, while a full laundry room adds convenience. Additional features include zoned HVAC with Nest thermostats, DoorBird video intercom, a whole-home central vacuum system, in-ceiling speaker wiring, and automated blinds in select rooms. Steps from Armitage's shops and restaurants and just a mile from the lakefront, this penthouse offers a rare combination of scale, finish, privacy, outdoor space, and location in one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods.
