Perched high above the lakefront, this two-bedroom, one-bath residence at Promontory Apartments is all about the view. From the 17th floor, expansive windows frame sweeping views of Lake Michigan and fill the home with natural light. The interior has just been refreshed with newly painted walls and new luxury vinyl flooring throughout, giving the home a bright, clean feel and a fresh foundation for its next owner. The kitchen and bath offer an opportunity to update and personalize over time, while the spacious layout and spectacular lake views provide a setting that is hard to replicate. This iconic Mies van der Rohe-designed co-op offers an impressive collection of amenities, including 24-hour door staff, on-site management, an on-premises engineer, exercise room, bike room, laundry facilities, extra storage, rooftop solarium, vegetable garden, and picnic and grilling area. One of the greatest perks is the location. Step outside and you're just minutes from the lakefront, Burnham Park and Promontory Point, with miles of lakefront paths and green space practically at your doorstep. The Museum of Science and Industry is just a few blocks away, with Jackson Park, the University of Chicago, Obama Presidential Center, and the shops, restaurants and coffee spots of Hyde Park all close by. Everyday conveniences including Trader Joe's and Walgreens are also within easy reach. Co-op living also makes monthly expenses refreshingly simple. The monthly assessment includes heat, air conditioning, water, cable, internet, and property taxes, bringing many of the ongoing costs of homeownership together into one predictable monthly payment. With its high-floor setting, expansive Lake Michigan views, freshly refreshed interior, iconic architecture, and exceptional access to the lakefront and everything Hyde Park has to offer, Unit 17B is an exciting opportunity to create a home of your own in one of Chicago's most architecturally significant residential buildings.
