This is one of the largest 1 bed / 1 bath condos at Olympia Centre! The tapered wide base of this building allows floor 26 to have a deeper floor plate when compared with higher "G" tier units. This home is the perfect pied-a-terre for a weekend get-away, busy professional, or university student. Nicely updated throughout by the current owner and barely lived in. Kitchen has an upgraded limestone backsplash, newer Sub-Zero fridge and updated limestone style floors that span into the entry hallway. The bright and large open Living / Dining room has massive protruding windows with deep marble-top window stools and showcase amazing north views up Lake Shore Drive with lake views between dramatic and iconic skyscrapers. Beautifully updated hardwood flooring flows throughout this space and the bedroom. The spacious bedroom easily fits a king size bed and features dual, professionally built-out, walk-in closets. The Carrara marble bathroom has a temperature-controlled jet tub / shower combo and glass sliders. A separate large laundry room has extra space for your kitchen back-stock and coat closet essentials. Custom lighting, roller shades, and freshly painted throughout. There's an additional separate storage room on the same floor as unit! Full amenity building with indoor pool, sauna, 2 fitness rooms, amazing sun deck, party room, dry cleaners, and 24/7 door staff.

Explore Streeterville

Flanked on one side by the crowded sidewalks of Michigan Avenue and the wide open waters of Lake Michigan on the other, Streeterville is home some of the biggest attractions and most visited sites in Chicago. Shop the Magnificent Mile, ride the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier, get culture at the Museum of Contemporary Art and enjoy the vistas from the 94th-floor Observatory at the John Hancock Center, all within a few blocks from your front door. Residents like the architectural grandeur of this small, near north side Chicago neighborhood which also includes iconoclastic landmarks like the ornate Tribune Tower and the Water Tower Place. For living space, towering condominium high-rises are the norm, offering homeowners a high-end lifestyle with a view. Giving up the height but keeping the luxury, three- and four-story brown- and graystones make up the rest of Streeterville real estate. Needless to say, the neighborhood has the best shopping in Chicago with its Mag Mile retailers and flagship department stores. The Streeterville cuisine is just as sought-after, boasting reservation-required restaurants and more casual, family-friendly joints.
