Enjoy sweeping city views from this tastefully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath soft loft in the heart of University Village. The open layout features hardwood floors, concrete ceilings, exposed ductwork, two private balconies, and beautiful custom closets. The modern kitchen includes beautiful quartz countertops, a designer tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and ample storage. Oversized windows fill the space with natural light, and the convenience of in-unit laundry adds to the appeal. A deeded garage space and storage cage is INCLUDED in the price. Once a cold storage warehouse, University Station was thoughtfully converted into condominiums, blending historic character with modern convenience. The building offers a well-equipped fitness center, two dog runs, a bike room, extra storage, part-time door staff, and on-site management, making it a smart and comfortable place to call home. Set between Pilsen and UIC, this home puts you close to vibrant restaurants, coffee shops, and galleries, with the energy of the university just blocks away. Commuting is simple with nearby CTA stations, Metra, and quick access to the expressway.
