Perched on the top floor with sweeping east-facing lake views, this one-bedroom loft offers the best of city living in the quaint tree lined streets of the Historic Prairie District. For those who prefer a little breathing room from the city's busiest blocks, this location offers a more residential, neighborhood feel while keeping the energy of the lakefront, South Loop, downtown and major expressways within easy reach. Dog parent? You'll especially appreciate having a dog run/park practically outside your door, making morning walks and late-night outings refreshingly easy. Lake lover? You'll love living in within 2 blocks proximity to the 18th St Walking Bridge (and Metra stop) over the Metra tracks and under Lake Shore Drive to Burnham Harbor, Museum Campus, Boat Drinks live music, the South Loops best kept secret -119 acre Northerly Island Park with overflowing with nature and migratory bird watching grounds, and 18 miles of breathtaking biking, walking, and running trails hugging the Lake Michigan coastline. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed brick and abundant natural light bring classic loft character, while the top-floor setting and east-facing exposure deliver the star of the show: beautiful lake views. And for buyers who want city living without giving up their car, garage parking offers the convenience that's increasingly hard to find. With heat, gas and water included in the assessment, along with door staff, fitness facilities and roof deck with stunning 360 lake and skyline views, this home offers a compelling combination of views, convenience, character and value. Close to it all, without having to live in the thick of it all.
