    Perched on the 52nd floor of one of the Gold Coast's most premier and secure buildings, you will enjoy an awesome corner view, north on Lakeshore Drive with the lakefront as far as the eye can see and west to award-winning sunsets. 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 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.
