Chicago, IL

Welcome to 847 W Monroe PH5, a rare full-floor penthouse in the heart of the West Loop, completely reimagined and redesigned in 2024. Offering true single-floor living on a scale that is incredibly hard to find in the city, the home combines the space of a single family home with the ease and convenience of condo living. Direct elevator access opens to a private foyer and a home that immediately feels different from the typical city condo. With 11-foot ceilings, incredible room sizes, and two large private terraces 51x13 and 51x7 at opposite ends, the space feels open, bright, and incredibly livable. The main living and dining areas flow into a custom kitchen centered around an oversized quartz island with a full-slab backsplash and handleless European lip-pull cabinetry. A full Bosch appliance package includes a gas cooktop, vented hood, and double ovens. The island offers deep drawer storage and integrated appliances on the working side with plenty of seating on the other. Across from the ovens, a built-in buffet sits between the kitchen and dining room, adding storage and a convenient place to serve when entertaining. A separate breakfast area sits just off the balcony doors and gives you a more casual place for everyday meals. Just beyond the kitchen is a second living space that works perfectly as a family room, den, or playroom. The split bedroom floor plan gives the primary suite its own private side of the home while keeping the two secondary bedrooms together on the opposite end. The primary suite includes a custom walk-in closet and renovated bath with a quartz vanity and glass-enclosed walk-in shower. One of the most thoughtful additions to the 2024 renovation is a pocket door off the primary bath that creates a direct connection to the other side of the home. It provides quick access to the secondary bedrooms and laundry room without having to walk back through the main living spaces, a particularly thoughtful feature for families that also makes everyday access to the laundry incredibly convenient. Two generously sized secondary bedrooms, a second full bath, dedicated laundry room, and excellent storage complete the interior. Two expansive private balconies extend the living space outdoors with room for dining, grilling, lounging, and entertaining. Three heated garage spaces are available for $250 per spot per month, including two side-by-side spaces plus a separate third space that works especially well for guest parking. Four additional storage spaces are also available and can be included upon request. All of this in an incredible West Loop location just steps from Mary Bartelme Park, Skinner Park, Whole Foods, Mariano's, the Green and Pink Lines, with easy access to the Blue Line, Ogilvie, and the expressway.
