1313 N Ritchie Court #1005, Chicago, IL

At 2,300 square feet, this exceptional corner residence delivers scale and sophistication in this primely located building in the heart of the Gold Coast. With north, east and west exposures and two private balconies, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom layout feels expansive yet intentionally zoned across a single level. A gallery style entry introduces a central moment that unfolds into two distinct, connected living spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. Designer lighting from Lightology dresses the home’s clean lines with hickory hardwood flooring spanning the interiors and oversized windows capturing abundant light and rich, colorful textures from the fabled streetscape and blue waters of Lake Michigan. An impressive, oversized quartz waterfall island anchors the kitchen offering generous seating and prep space. Custom white cabinetry framed in warm wood adds depth, while stainless steel appliances integrate cleanly alongside a wine refrigerator and thoughtful storage. The space flows seamlessly into the northeast corner family room, wrapped in windows and connected to a private balcony that offers a glimpse of the lake and city below. The east-facing primary suite is set apart for privacy, layered in rich tones that create depth and calm. A generous walk-in closet with custom organization separates the sleeping quarters from the tranquil en-suite bath with a floating dual vanity with integrated lighting, heated towel rack and oversized glass-enclosed shower. Just beyond, framed by pocket doors, a flexible room functions as an office or guest suite, complete with a custom Murphy bed ideal for visitors. Across the residence, the dedicated dining area, defined by a full wall of custom built-ins set against designer wallpaper, extends into the formal living room, creating a gracious entertaining space. Integrated cabinetry and shelving provide storage and structure, while corner windows and a second private balcony offer another invitation outdoors. Two additional bedrooms reside in the west wing with customized closets and a full secondary bath. A dedicated laundry closet includes a new Bosch electric stack with space for shelving and storage. Just off the home’s main entry sits a large, built-in mudroom with exceptional storage. 1313 Ritchie offers full-amenity living with 24-hour door staff, on-site maintenance, an outdoor pool and sundeck, fitness center, party room, bike storage, dry cleaning and salon. Substantial, recent updates include a 2023 driveway and pool refresh, 2022 facade restoration with balcony upgrades and new canopy, and a building-wide plumbing riser replacement fully paid by the current owner with elegant hallway renovations slated for completion by May. Two deeded garage parking spaces and storage locker are included in price. Ideally perched in the heart of the historic Gold Coast, just moments from Oak Street Beach, the lakefront trail and the shops and dining within the neighborhood and along Michigan Avenue.
