An awesome Chicago penthouse apartment that’s like a museum of 1970s home decorating just hit the market. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment has obviously had just one owner since it was built in 1972. But what’s most amazing is how immaculately preserved the quintessential 1970s home furnishings and decorations still are after more than 40 years. The apartment looks like it was designed by a professional all those years ago, with crazy wallpaper, green velvet everything and even a faux wood-paneled den. Take a step into this penthouse time machine, and experience the grooviest looks right out of a ’70s fantasy.
Entrance
The 1,877-square-foot penthouse apartment sits atop the Winston Towers building.
Entry
As soon as you enter, it’s like walking right into last century. Parquet floors? Natch.
Green. Velvet. Couch.
The round green velvet sofa has to be a custom piece, right?
Kitchen
Wallpaper really had a huge moment in the 1970s.
Appliances
Check out those appliances! And yes, that’s wallpaper on the ceiling.

Dining room
Amazing: mirrored vertical blinds, more green velvet, and the chandelier is perfection.
Den
I have never craved a Tab so hard in my life. Let’s go hang in the den and listen to records, ‘K?

Green!
Princess Leia’s bedroom.
And more green!
Do you think that green glows in the dark? That TV in the corner has got to be some kind of collectible, right?
Bathroom phone
Two things: This wallpaper could be sold today at Anthropologie, and there’s a bathroom phone.
Master closet
How much you wanna bet there’s a leisure suit in one of those dry-cleaning bags?
Powder room
Anyone else obsessed with this collection of old perfume? White Linen, Red Door and Charlie! Oh my!
Shopping and grub
Kohl’s, Olive Garden and Five Guys are right across the street. You can chow down and buy bigger pants right there!
Chicago skyline
But this pretty skyline view will never get old or go out of style. BRB, this apartment is a steal at twice the price.
