Sweet deal!
This listing is 26% below the median price for 1 bedroom apartments in Near North Side.
Property Id: 2207054 Originally built as a hotel in 1926 by the famous Burnham Brothers, this once-famous Chicago landmark was transformed into a boutique apartment community in the popular Gold Coast. Just east of Michigan Ave in a quiet neighborhood setting, you're just a short walk to all of the shopping, restaurants and nightlife you can squeeze in. Meander around and you'll find yourself on Oak Street Beach, biking the Lakefront Trail, or inspired by the Museum of Contemporary Art. All this, and Lake Shore Drive, are just a few blocks away. This recently renovated property offers 24-hour security door staffing, fitness center, spacious sundeck with grilling stations, and on-site laundry facility. Classically inspired layouts are typically spacious, with breakfast bars, stainless steel appliances and faux wood flooring (carpeted bedrooms). Bathrooms have relaxing soaking tubs and there is central air throughout. Valet parking is available on-site for an additional charge.
