This contemporary multi-level townhouse was designed by Morgante Wilson Architects, located on a busy street corner in Chicago, Illinois. The townhouse transitions from ground-floor utility-oriented living spaces to more intimate living areas. The levels can be accessed either by elevator or sculptural staircase. Curved glass and storage-secreting, sliding, walnut-paneled walls are just two of this home’s architecturally arresting features; luxe finishes throughout complement a stunning collection of art.

What We Love: This multi-level townhouse offers luxuriously appointed furnishings and materials that makes this home ultra-swanky. We are just loving the master bathroom soaking tub and the outdoor patio that provides sweeping views over the Chicago cityscape. The industrial feeling of the kitchen is also a beautiful touch, especially the rolling library ladder. The home offices are also pretty fantastic, which can make working from home very enjoyable!… Readers, what touches in this home do think are stand-out features? Please explain in the Comments!
