A thoughtful modern renovation within one of Chicago's most significant works of residential architecture. This southwest corner 3-bed, 2-bath residence has been completely reimagined for contemporary living while honoring the original vision of Mies van der Rohe. Completed in 2026, the renovation touches virtually every element of the home while preserving the integrity of the original floor plan. Inspired by Mies' principle of "less is more," the interiors favor clean lines, purposeful materials and an uncluttered sense of space. The living and dining areas are framed by the home's original floor-to-ceiling aluminum windows, maintaining the unmistakable connection between interior space and the building's steel-and-glass architecture. Southwest exposure brings abundant afternoon light, city and lake views, and beautiful sunsets. The redesigned kitchen pairs custom cabinetry with stone countertops and a streamlined layout that integrates naturally with the surrounding living spaces. The primary suite offers a particularly peaceful retreat, with a spa-like, hotel-inspired design that brings the vanity and bathing spaces into the larger composition of the room. The open arrangement creates a calm, seamless environment with the feel of a thoughtfully designed private suite. The second bath has been similarly reimagined with a restrained, modern approach. Set within Mies van der Rohe's landmark 860-880 Lake Shore Drive towers-historically nicknamed Chicago's "Glass Houses"-the residence offers a rare opportunity to experience an icon of modern architecture in a home carefully adapted for how we live today. An exceptional lakefront location places the lakefront trail and beaches, Michigan Avenue, dining, shopping and the cultural attractions of the Near North Side within easy reach.
