This south & east exposure unit has 12-foot ceilings, exposed solid timber beams & brick walls, hardwood flooring, ample closet space, along with a dual-sided wood-burning fireplace. The main living space was previously remodeled by Mark Menna, a local, award-winning kitchen designer, and includes a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, quartz countertops, glass backsplash tile, and stainless-steel Bosch appliances (induction stovetop). Both bathrooms have been remodeled with high end finishes and tiling -- including a walk-in shower. This 1-bedroom unit could be easily configured into 2 bedrooms. HVAC system installed in 2020, with new hot water heater, humidifier & Ecobee thermostat. This elevator building has some accessibility features, a heated garage parking space (just inside the overhead door), storage in basement and a rooftop deck with view of the Chicago skyline. So much natural light! Such a special space! Run, don't walk...to see this amazing place before it is gone.
