Across the street from the Magnificent Mile, the Museum of Contemporary Art, a park, and blocks from Lake Michigan, this bright 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit offers an open and airy 1,900 sf of living space. The primary suite has been recently renovated with custom-made rain glass doors leading into a large bedroom with 2 walk-in closets. The primary bath includes Robern fixtures, a Toto toilet, and more than adequate storage space. The second bedroom, currently used as an exercise room, can be closed off and includes a large closet. The entryway as well as much of the unit has been furnished with a museum-quality hanging system for your artwork, and beautiful hardwood floors occupy the majority of the unit. The island kitchen has ample granite counter space, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, as well as stainless steel appliances. The building has an extraordinary team, including a concierge, door staff, as well as exceptional security. In addition, Olympia Center boasts world-class views of the city and air show from its 63rd-story deck, a glorious swimming pool and jacuzzi, as well as two separate workout rooms. This competitively priced unit has been appointed with everything one would need for the perfect city dwelling.
