This charming architect-designed corner timber loft in the West Loop is a true gem, offering a unique blend of function, warmth, modern design, and sustainable principles. An abundance of natural light illuminates the entire space, accentuating the beauty of the whitewashed brick walls. The softly elevated dining area, which accommodates a table for eight and seamlessly connects to the cook's kitchen, creates a perfect setting for both entertaining guests and everyday living. It also functions as a well-lit workspace by day. The living room exudes warmth and charm, framed by custom bookcases and a gas-fired Franklin stove that provides both heat and comfort on chilly evenings. The bedroom suite is thoughtfully designed, featuring a unique cedar closet and ample drawer space, a sink, and a large, salvaged steel-sash window. A ceiling fan provides added comfort. The 'bath' half of the split bathroom is a luxurious retreat, boasting wood-paneled walls, a beautiful deep clawfoot tub and two interior windows that add both elegance and natural light. Additionally, there's a bonus loft space above the bathroom, perfect for storage, yoga sessions, accommodating guests, or the curious cat. Throughout the loft, hardwood and wide plank floors add to the sophisticated ambiance, while a newly installed washer/dryer and portable a/c offer convenience and comfort. The building is a five-minute walk from UIC and three-minute walk from the Blue Line. With proximity to Greektown, Fulton Market shopping and restaurants, and the major expressways, this property truly offers the best of city living. Overall, this loft is a rare find, combining timeless elegance with practical, bespoke details to create a home that is perfect for modern lifestyles.
