At this 55th-floor condo, the view trumps everything

The vistas from a unit with a 90-foot span of floor-to-ceiling windows in Trump Tower convinced a Glen Ellyn couple to move downtown. Now they’re off to Florida, and it’s soon for sale at $2.99 million. Take a photo tour.

n the kitchen, the Spanglers added some cabinets and replaced out-of-date dark granite countertops with a lighter cream version. They bought the condominium in 2010 for $2.3 million, and spent an additional amount afterward on improvements such as these in the kitchen, the tile wall, and others. They declined to say what their total investment in the property is.

There’s another fireplace in the master bedroom, set into the tile-lined wall at left. “Before the sun comes up in the morning, it’s nice to turn on the fireplace and sit and look out the windows,” Ed Spangler said. The tile here is a light green, selected to match green frosted glass doors in the adjacent master bath.

Other than new lighter countertops and a television, the master bath is largely as the developers built it, in a neutral look that matches their later design of the rest of the condo.

There are two more bedrooms in the condo, this one used as an office.

The view, ever-changing with the season and the time of day, is the main event at this condo. Because of the building’s fortuitous siting at a prominent bend in the river, from inside some condos it looks as if the tower was built over the river itself. From the Spanglers’ unit, the view encompasses everything from Cloud Gate, aka The Bean, out to O’Hare, Glenda Spangler said. They plan to divide their time between Florida and California, two beautiful parts of the world, but “there’s nothing like this” in either place, she said.
