About this property
A short stretch from the water in Edgewater, this five-story building holds 78 homes, completed in 2023 with layouts running from studios up through three-bedroom and townhouse units. Some homes use expandable Ori units, furniture systems that fold a home office or a guest bed out of a wall when needed, a detail more common in smaller cities than Chicago. Stainless steel appliances and in-unit washer and dryer are standard throughout, and a rooftop lounge and co-working space sit on the ground floor along with a fitness center. Both cats and dogs are welcome in the building. Parking is available in an attached garage, and at an 88 walk score, Edgewater's restaurants and the water are both within a short walk. Nightlife here runs quiet, a calmer corner than downtown.
