Actress Sophia Bush sells lofty West Loop penthouse for $1.97M

After hitting the market last spring with an asking price of $2.25 million, a West Loop penthouse owned by actress Sophia Bush sold this week for $1.97 million. Bush took the home off the market in October before relisting it for $2.1 million, according to Crain’s.

Spanning the entire 3,500-square-foot top floor in a historic former warehouse building, the three-bedroom residence offers private elevator access, skylit 12-foot timber ceilings, and a chef’s kitchen with matte blue cabinets. A floating staircase leads to a private rooftop deck situated beneath the building’s old-school water tower.

Bush, who previously starred on One Tree Hill and local drama Chicago P.D., paid $1.6 million for the property in 2015. The actress enlisted the help of Chicago-based designer Lauren McGrady to renovate her West Loop digs. The collaboration led to the duo founding their own design consulting firm last year, reported Elle Decor.

Vincent Anzalone of Dream Town Realty represented Bush in the transaction. Public records have yet to reveal the identity of the buyer.
