Sophisticated West Loop Penthouse with Park Views & Designer Finishes Welcome to elevated living in the heart of the West Loop. This impeccably updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath penthouse at Monroe Manor offers the perfect blend of luxury, space, and location-all on one expansive level. Step directly from the elevator into this stunning 5th-floor corner unit, where walls of windows and three exposures (South, West, and North) bathe the home in natural light and frame sweeping views of Mary Bartelme Park. The thoughtfully designed North Wing features a gracious living and dining space anchored by a custom EcoSmart stainless biofuel fireplace, adorned with artisan Motawi tile and flanked by built-in bookcases. Entertain with ease thanks to the fully equipped wet bar with oven and seamless access to the spacious North Terrace-ideal for evening cocktails or quiet mornings with a view. The private primary suite is a true retreat, complete with two large walk-in custom closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities and a luxurious zero-threshold walk-in shower wrapped in designer tile. At the heart of the South Wing is a chef's kitchen outfitted with Bosch and Dacor appliances, a breakfast-bar island, custom banquette seating, and a warm, inviting family room with tailored built-ins. An integrated office nook provides smart functionality, while the beautifully landscaped South Terrace-complete with irrigation and park views-offers the perfect backdrop for al fresco dining or summer lounging. Two additional bedrooms, including one with a built-in Murphy bed and custom storage, provide flexible living options. A stylishly renovated guest bath and a spacious laundry room with full-size machines and additional storage add convenience. This penthouse includes two side-by-side parking spaces in the attached heated garage. Ideally situated across from Mary Bartelme Park and moments from the best of Randolph Street, Fulton Market, Whole Foods, and Mariano's-this is West Loop penthouse living at its finest.
