Sweet deal!
This listing is 17% below the median price for 1 bedroom apartments in Near West Side.
Property Id: 2268941 Just steps from Skinner Park in the West Loop, this vintage brick building was smartly repurposed and renovated into stunning loft apartments in 2020. If a mix of sleek modern luxury fixtures with exposed industrial elements suits your style, this is a must-see. This neighborhood hosts the hottest bars and nightlife, loads of popular restaurants, boutique shopping, and has two major grocery stores. Bulls and Blackhawks fans can stroll a few blocks over to the United Center to cheer on their teams, without a single care about driving in game-day traffic or parking. Lots of West Loop offices, the Illinois Medical District and UIC are just around the corner. Several public transit options are nearby, including the Ashland CTA Pink/Green Line train station, Racine CTA Blue Line station, #20 Madison Loop Link bus, and #9 Ashland bus. Access to I-290 or I-90 are both just a few minutes drive. At home, the stylish features in these units include tall exposed-beam ceilings, polished concrete floors, modern stainless-steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, glass-enclosed rain shower, and in-unit washer and dryer. Select apartments feature exposed brick walls and skyline views. Although the apartments here are new, there are still a lot of vintage architectural elements that were preserved, as well as fantastic restorations of the original basketball court, running track and a mosaic-tiled indoor pool. There's also a new sauna, rooftop lounging deck with string lights, outdoor patio bar, courtyards and lawn spaces, and co-working lobby. Cats and dogs are welcome and there is a pet play area on-site. Also, with three large parks all within a couple blocks walk, dog-parents and their furry friends will dig this place. Parking is available on-site with additional fees, as well as complimentary bike storage.
