About the Building

This beautifully-constructed condo building in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood has been around since 1968 and offers all the modern amenities you need to live in comfort and style in the big city. It houses 240 separate units with fee/leased parking to accommodate residents who own their own vehicles. In addition to the well-maintained craftsmanship of the building, this great dwelling offers several different layouts with varying numbers of bedrooms and unit size.

On average, the residences in this building provide 515 square feet of living space. The choice of floorplans include anywhere from studio to 2 bedrooms, which can range in area from 25 square feet to 200+ square feet. But home isn't only about where you lay your head at night-the rest of the place is just as essential when looking for that perfect abode. The cook in the household will find the kitchens here are divine, covering 57 square feet of the entire unit. That's enough room to whip up a delicious five-course meal for the occasional dinner party, which can be hosted in the 259 square-foot dining room. And what would a get-together be without a bit of mingling before sitting down to eat? Good thing there's a large 323 square-foot living room to let your guests roam around, and not even have to worry about bumping elbows.
