5 Chicagoland Luxury Homes, from West Loop to Lakefront Living

In the heart of Chicago’s West Loop, this top-floor duplex penthouse at 900 West Washington pairs boutique privacy with a distinctly modern point of view. The elevator opens directly into a sun-filled interior finished with radiant-heated concrete floors, new designer lighting, and floor-to-ceiling, sound-insulated windows. Outside, a wraparound terrace is framed by sweeping skyline views. The chef’s kitchen centers on Scavolini cabinetry and Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, designed for both everyday ease and effortless entertaining. Each bedroom includes an en suite bath, while the primary retreat adds a spa-caliber bathroom and a custom walk-in closet. LEED Gold certification underscores a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle, with MERV-13 hospital-grade air filtration, a 75% green roof, and energy-saving systems for year-round comfort. West Loop and Fulton Market dining, shopping, Soho House, and Mary Bartelme Park sit just beyond the front door, with two garage parking spaces included.

On Lakeland Drive in Lake Bluff, iconic elements set the tone for a residence designed for both ceremony and ease. Stunning formal rooms create a gracious backdrop for entertaining, while thoughtful family spaces invite everyday living to unfold comfortably. A fabulous two-story family room anchors the interior with volume and light. The spacious kitchen is positioned for gathering, from casual mornings to longer evenings at home. Two primary suites offer flexible retreat options—ideal for hosting or simply spreading out. Downstairs, the walkout lower level adds a distinctly social note with a well-appointed pub, extending the home’s livability beyond the main floors. Outside, a heated pool and hot tub turn warm-weather days into a private ritual, complemented by the practicality of a four-car heated garage. Life here is equal parts polished and relaxed, season after season.

Along the water’s edge on the Chain O’ Lakes in Johnsburg, Illinois, this newly constructed smart home is conceived as an architectural riverfront retreat on a scenic stretch of the Fox River near Dutch Creek Bay. Sweeping panoramic water views take center stage, framed by expansive windows and dramatic sliding glass walls that draw outdoor beauty into daily life. From a private pier, the rhythm of the day can follow the water—cruising miles of winding riverfront, slipping into quiet coves, or heading to waterfront restaurants with their own docks. Indoors, a chef’s kitchen anchors gatherings with a professional BlueStar range (six burners, grill, griddle, double ovens), a GE Monogram Hearth Oven with integrated microwave, premium Monogram appliances, and pecan countertops. Control4 automation manages lighting, security, climate, audio, and pool functions, supported by Xfinity internet with Starlink backup, plus a guest cottage with a garage.

Work-from-home flexibility is woven throughout—double built-in desks in the first-floor family room, a fifth bedroom option in the lower level, and a 900-square-foot top floor ready for future expansion. Outdoors, Unilock paver walkways frame a rear covered deck and patio, complemented by professional landscaping with irrigation. A new three-car garage is EV ready, and mechanical systems are supported by annual inspections, including HVAC, irrigation, and a home generator—thoughtful maintenance that supports an easy daily rhythm.
