2008 W Willow St APT C, Chicago, IL 60647

Winner of the Grand Award by Builder Magazine, and the Silver Award for Excellence in Masonry by the Illinois/Indiana Masonry Council, this bold and thoughtfully constructed property is in the heart of Bucktown, though on a quiet one-way street, and is right off Chicago's darling, the 606 Trail. This corner unit is the largest, and is flooded with natural light, as the design includes large vertical black steel cantilevered bays positioned at the block corners. Come in either through the front entrance, or from the attached two car garage with extra storage; the first level is great flex space: use it as a family room, office, or fourth bedroom. The main level is airy, bright, and expansive; loads of space to create whatever living configuration you desire. Plenty of room for a generous living room, dining room, play area, perhaps another office?
