About This Home
As of April 2022Breathtaking panoramic water views from floor to ceiling windows in this high floor 3 bedroom 3 bath condo (2 parking 3 storage). Unmatched 280-degree views east over downtown Evanston to the lake, gazing North to the North Shore and south to the magnificent Chicago skyline. Captivating views that will impress any guest! But it's not just the views. This is a Mega -unit that looks like a Penthouse unit & behaves like a Single Family Home within the soft clouds & blue sky. Feel comfort in your unique abode with rooms that are bigger than the typical 10-Tier unit. This is NOT your typical condo situation. You must see for yourself. In our pre-showing assessment," it looks like no one ever lived here" yes the owner has been traveling to 100 countries and rarely has stayed here and it has been gingerly utilized. The unit was freshly painted, deep cleaned, and new luxury carpet recently installed along with light fixtures. The large units approaching 3,000 square feet are a very rare find in Downtown Evanston core area.
