This is not your average cookie-cutter condo-and that is exactly the point. This dramatic top-floor DUPLEX UP LOFT delivers the character buyers love about Chicago living: soaring approximately 25-foot timber ceilings, EXPOSED BRICK, oversized windows, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning FIREPLACE with a classic mantel. The main level is made for entertaining, with a truly spacious living room, separate dining area, and large kitchen featuring abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and a substantial island where everyone will inevitably gather. A full bathroom completes this level. Upstairs, the open-to-below design keeps the home feeling bright, airy, and connected while still creating a serene bedroom sanctuary. You’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms, excellent closet space-including a walk-in closet-and a dedicated DEN/OFFICE that proves working from home does not have to mean working from the kitchen counter. The upper-level bath offers a jetted tub and double vanity, while in-unit laundry closet keeps real life convenient. One parking space is included, and a second space is available to rent-because finding one parking spot in Lakeview is great, but having access to two is practically showing off. The building also offers private storage, a bike room, and a COMMON ROOF DECK with city views. All of this is tucked into the heart of Lakeview, surrounded by restaurants, shopping, nightlife, parks, with a bus stop right outside your door and a few blocks away from the Red, Brown, and Purple lines. Dramatic without being impractical, spacious without losing its warmth, and packed with the kind of authentic loft character that cannot be recreated-this one is refreshingly different.
