A spectacular 4-bedroom penthouse in a charming part of Streeterville

Penthouse living room, The Chatelaine, Chicago

Head north of Chicago Ave in Streeterville and you’re in a neighborhood that differs radically from the sea of new apartment towers, hospital buildings and parking lots south of Chicago Ave. You’re in a neighborhood that was largely settled in the 1920s and is dominated by classic vintage buildings and the iconic architecture of the Hancock Center, Lake Shore Drive and Mies van der Rohe’s Glass Houses. The area is considered by many to be part of the Gold Coast, since it shares that neighborhood’s largely residential character and charm.

The Chatelaine, 215 E Chestnut, is a 1920s-era classic with a boutique environment and only four apartments per floor.

Atop The Chatelaine you’ll find the most spectacular penthouse in any rental property in Streeterville – a 4-bedroom, 4 ½ bath treasure pictured above.

The true chef’s kitchen has a butler’s pantry and a six-burner Thermador range and cabinet-front Thermador refrigerator / freezer.
