Renovated 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath corner residence at The Columbian with a large terrace overlooking Lake Michigan and Grant Park. These are protected lake views. Your new home has the primary bedroom suite on Michigan Avenue overlooking the Museum Campus. The Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium are priceless in your vista, not to mention Navy Pier fireworks, the Field Museum and a bustling City at your front door. The living room, dining room, kitchen and an extremely rare, private terrace directly overlook the lakefront. Don't settle for a puny balcony or an inferior City view when you can have it all on your 300 square foot, private terrace along Michigan Avenue. This home has one of only two private, wrap-around lake front terraces in the building. You can host a lively party with this coveted vista, watching spectacular fireworks shows over the lake every week or just relax in your private respite above it all. This unit has two (2) en suite baths plus a powder room for guests. The primary bedroom is stunning with lake and park views, a large walk-in closet and a spacious, spa-like, renovated bathroom with marble flooring and a large walk-in shower. The second bedroom is also grand with City views. The second bedroom's bath, the powder room and the kitchen have also been renovated. The bonus, powder room is a great amenity so your guests do not need to use either of the two, private, en suite bathrooms. The kitchen is richly appointed with Kraftmaid cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. The unit has been freshly painted throughout and has new, white oak, hardwood flooring. Amenities include a full-size washer & dryer (no, it's not in your kitchen), extra storage in hall closets, a large linen closet/pantry, wiring for whole house sound and a secure storage locker. The Columbian is a Class A building with 24-hour doorman, attentive management, refrigerated delivery room, high speed internet, tight security protocols, penthouse fitness center, large party room with full kitchen, entertainment/sun deck & BBQ, dog run, resident business office and bike storage. The well-equipped fitness center is at the 47th floor lakefront penthouse. The views are breathtaking while you're burning calories on one of the Peloton bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, workout machines, lifting weights or just stretching. A prime, lower-floor parking space completes your new home for an additional $40,000. Grant Park and the Museum Campus are directly across the street. Sure, you can hear the roar of the Bear's game from your terrace but you can also just walk through the park to go to the Bears and Fire games at Soldier Field. The Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and Field Museum are on display from almost every room in your new home. There's always something happening from the Chicago Marathon and Shamrock Shuffle coming down Michigan Avenue at your terrace and finishing on Columbus Dr. to Sox/Bulls/Bears/Cubs Championship Celebrations, The Art Institute, CSO/Symphony Center, Lollapaloosa, City festivals, softball, soccer & skateboarding in Grant Park, concerts at the Petrillo Music Shell & Pritzker Pavilion, Merle Reskin Theater, Buddy Guy's Legends, the "The Bean" & skating ribbon, Chicago Yacht Club, Burnham Harbor and more. Hot restaurants are in every direction. Essential retail, banking and clothing stores are just around the corner: Jewel, Trader Joes, Walgreen's, Target, Whole Foods, Mariano's, Home Depot, Marshall's, Binny's... Commuting is easy on Michigan Avenue, a short walk to the Orange, Red & Green Line station and the Metra Electric station at 11th Street in Grant Park. Come and get this rare and delightful residence before it's too late.
