About This Home

Enjoy breathtaking views from this 41st-floor One Bedroom, perched just below penthouse level in the heart of Old Town! The kitchen and hallway have been recently updated with new electrical & lighting, quartz countertops, hickory cabinets, and includes stainless steel appliances. The space also boasts real hardwood floors and abundant storage-including a professionally organized walk-in closet conveniently located across from the bathroom. James House, part of the highly sought-after Sandburg Village, offers 24/7 door staff, a rooftop sundeck, receiving room, basement storage, party room, bike room, and a fitness center (for an additional fee). The association also features two in-ground pools (one directly next to James House), plus tennis and pickleball courts (available for an additional fees), and discounted memberships to Old Town FFC. Pet-friendly (one dog and one cat or two cats, with weight restrictions), this home places you at the center of all Old Town has to offer-close to Second City, Zanies Comedy Club, North Avenue Beach, the Chicago History Museum, Red Orchid Theatre, and with excellent CTA access.
