Situated in Westgate Lofts, this quiet 46-unit solid brick boutique building offers an expansive floor plan with soaring 12' ceilings, gorgeous oak hardwood floors, towering concrete columns, and classic exposed brick throughout - perfectly capturing the neighborhood's industrial-chic vibe. A defined foyer entrance leads you into a sun-drenched living area where massive South and East facing windows frame iconic skyline views and flood the home with incredible natural light. This bright atmosphere is elevated by brand new $17,000 custom Hunter Douglas motorized shades throughout. The sleek, modern kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring custom European soft-close cabinetry with pull-out drawers, a double pantry, professional stainless-steel appliances, and a grand waterfall island with seating for four that overlooks the spacious living and dining area. The generous primary suite is a true sanctuary, boasting a newly updated walk-in closet (2025) and a spa-like en-suite bathroom appointed with a floating Antonio Lupi double vanity and floor-to-ceiling stone tile. The versatile split floor plan includes a second bedroom with European pocket doors, a full en-suite bath, and a custom solid wood bookcase that pulls out to a Murphy bed, allowing the space to seamlessly transition from a guest room to a functional workspace. The third bedroom features a built-in desk and yet another beautifully appointed full en-suite bath. Additional highlights include a dedicated in-unit laundry room, dual zone HVAC with smart thermostats, and a heated garage parking space included in the price! Professionally managed building with the innovative Butterfly access system and 24-hour surveillance. Step outside and find yourself surrounded by the very best of Chicago - including the world-class dining of Restaurant Row, Soho House, Mary Bartelme Park, and three major supermarkets. Located within the award-winning Skinner School district and just moments from the Blue Line & both major expressways, this home delivers the epitome of luxury, lifestyle, and location - all in one exceptional West Loop package!
