A fireplace anchors the inviting family room, while custom light fixtures throughout add another layer of personality. In-unit laundry and fenced parking provide everyday convenience. Enjoy a convenient West Loop location approximately 1.5 blocks from the Racine Blue Line, with direct service to downtown and O'Hare, nearby CTA bus routes, and easy access to I-290 and I-90/94. UIC is just minutes away, while nearby Skinner Park and Target. Explore Randolph Street's celebrated Restaurant Row, vibrant Fulton Market, and the dining and cultural attractions of Greek-town. An exceptional blend of rustic loft charm, southern sunlight, and connected city living.
