About This Home

As of May 2025

Rarely available - investor friendly top floor, oversized 1035 sf. 1 bed/1 bath timber loft penthouse in the iconic Postcard Factory Lofts! The perfect blend of industrial charm and modern convenience in a prime North Center/Ravenswood location. Featuring 14 ft ceilings with exposed beams and original brick walls with a gas starter wood-burning fireplace, this unit exudes character. The abundant natural light from the oversized north facing windows draw you into a warm inviting dining and living area. This one bedroom is larger than many two bedrooms and the living space easily accommodates a dining table, oversized living room furniture with enough additional space for an at home office area/desk set up. With a new HVAC system and hot water heater all replaced in 2023 and the roof redone 6 months ago you can customize the kitchen and bath with your preferred design updates! The dishwasher is being conveyed "as-is". In-unit laundry is permitted and coin operated commercial grade machines are available in a common 2nd floor laundry room. Storage is abundant and includes an in-unit crawl space providing ample storage for seasonal and bulky items. The building boasts a new common roof deck with stunning skyline views. Security and convenience are enhanced with a programmable intercom system. Street parking is easy and abundant. Located just a 2-minute walk from the Irving Park brown line stop and a bus stop right in front of the building, this condo offers exceptional accessibility.
