About this home
Discover a serene sanctuary in the heart of Chicago's vibrant South Loop, where tranquility meets urban sophistication. Nestled on the coveted northwest corner of a meticulously maintained building in the Historic Prairie Avenue District, this exquisite 3-bedroom, 2-bath corner unit spans 1595 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space. Perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat with unparalleled proximity to downtown and the lakefront, this home offers the best of both worlds. Step inside and be captivated by the flood of natural light pouring through 16 windows and two double balcony doors, illuminating the rich solid maple hardwood floors. The open-concept kitchen, featuring a detached island, sleek white cabinetry, and granite countertops is an entertainer's dream, seamlessly blending style and functionality. Unwind on either of your two balconies, perfect for al fresco dining under the stars or just to soak in the quiet charm of this historic neighborhood. From your northwest-facing perch, savor breathtaking vistas of Chicago's iconic skyline, the shimmering lakefront, and vibrant Navy Pier fireworks every Wednesday and Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day. As the sun sets, the city's glow creates a mesmerizing backdrop, visible from the comfort of your home. Yet, the true allure of this residence lies in its peaceful ambiance, tucked away on Historic Prairie Avenue-once known as Millionaire's Row, home to luminaries like Marshall Field and George Pullman. Just steps from the 18th Street walk-over bridge, the lakefront beckons for morning jogs or leisurely strolls. Grant Park, Museum Campus, Soldier Field, and the dynamic Motor Row District are all within easy reach, as are the world-class dining options that define South Loop's culinary scene. With McCormick Place and Wintrust Arena nearby, and seamless transit options to downtown via bus or car, you're never far from the pulse of the city-yet your home remains a quiet haven. The building elevates your lifestyle with 24-hour door staff, a fully equipped fitness center, bike storage, and a warm, neighborly community backed by top-tier management. Two prime parking spaces, conveniently located at the garage entrance, are available for $30,000 each-use one and lease the other for $225-250 per month in additional income. This is more than a home; it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chicago's storied past while enjoying modern comforts and effortless access to the lakefront and downtown. Embrace the quiet elegance of South Loop living in this Historic Prairie Avenue masterpiece.
