About this home
***MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED. HIGHEST AND BEST CALLED FOR BY FRIDAY, JANUARY 10TH @ 12 NOON.*** Rare is it that one of the cornerstone buildings, Paper Place Lofts, has a corner unit that hits the market, overlooking the South Branch of the Chicago River, and city skyline views. Now is the opportunity for a lucky architecture enthusiast to own this NW CORNER 1BR/1BA, filled with light and "good vibes". Nothing else compares to the level of detail in the millwork, thoughtful storage, and blinding amounts of light found in this unit (seriously, it will burn your retinas, I'll buy you sunglasses as a closing gift). The open concept living/dining/kitchen is an entertainer's dream. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, bar seating, and cabinet storage galore. The living room is positioned in the corner of the space, taking in the wall-to-wall windows and built-ins for additional storage. Throughout the home are architectural features quintessential to a warehouse conversion--exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and high barrelled terracotta ceilings. While there are walls of windows, there is plenty of wallspace to showcase an art collection. The primary suite is well thought out with wall-to-wall closetspace, a pull-out ladder that leads up to ADDITIONAL 100 sq. ft. storage loft, and in-unit laundry. Leading from the primary bedroom (and also accessed from the main hallway) is the full bathroom with an oversized vanity, tub/shower combination, and LED lighting for those perfect selfies for the 'Gram. Since the main living spaces are back in the corner of the building, this layout offers a long hallway entry with closet space and a built-in bookcase/display for art, wine, or precious photos. Paper Place Lofts offers a fitness center, bike storage, laundry room, on-site maintenance, and additional private storage locker assigned to this unit. Pet-friendly building, and no rental cap (no AirBnB's allowed though). Known for its warehouse-loft conversions, historic Printer's Row is adorned with amazing turn-of-the-century architecture, where newspaper and magazine publications once competed for readership and the best headlines. Now it is a bustling community with the best of downtown living, yet midwestern charm. Excellent dining, entertainment and grocery options within a few short blocks. Lake Michigan, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Soldier Field, and several parks nearby. Easy access downtown with CTA bus stops (#29, 62 & 146) and train lines (Harrison at Red Line) all within blocks, and LaSalle Blue Line Station provides easy access to O'Hare Airport. If public transit is not preferred, easy access to 90/94, 290, Lake Shore Drive, and I-55 can be accessed within minutes!
