About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to this exceptional, top-floor penthouse loft in one of Bucktown's most sought-after boutique elevator buildings-where soaring 13.5-foot ceilings, wall-to-wall exposed brick, and rich hardwood floors create the perfect blend of industrial character and modern sophistication. This expansive well-insulated 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a thoughtfully designed split floor plan and is drenched in natural light from south, east, and west exposures. Enjoy breathtaking skyline views from not one, but two large terraces, ideal for elevated entertaining or serene mornings above the city. The gourmet open-concept kitchen features 42" maple cabinetry, polished granite countertops, and premium appliances-seamlessly flowing into a generous living space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The serene primary suite boasts a spacious walk-in closet, and the unit includes a full-size washer/dryer for ultimate convenience. Just moments from Bucktown's vibrant shopping, award-winning restaurants, and easy access to the Blue Line, this penthouse is a rare urban oasis. Garage parking included.
