Rarely on the market, this ultra cool, true "city loft" is located in the iconic, meticulously maintained, Daily News Building in the heart of the West Loop! This massive one bedroom, one and a half bath space, with soaring terra cotta ceilings and exposed brick walls is both edgy and unique. Grand windows with southeast exposure drench the living space in sunlight, and the wide-open floor plan, featuring a stone surround fireplace, creates the perfect urban oasis. This expansive space offers endless possibilities for dining, living room, or office layouts--whatever your imagination allows! A spacious outdoor deck, complete with a gas grill, abuts the main living space and provides an outdoor retreat in the heart of the City. The large, open kitchen boasts an oversized island, tons of shaker-style cabinets, and brand new stainless steel appliances. An open foyer with a large closet and stylish powder room greets you home, while the separate laundry room, featuring new floors, provides added convenience. The large, primary suite features a walk-in closet with an array of storage options and a large bathroom with double vanity and tub/shower combo. The entire unit is freshly painted, with beautiful refinished hardwood floors punctuating this special living space. Indoor, heated garage parking space is included. All just steps from CTA blue line, major expressways and all the dining and shopping options the West Loop has to offer. If you want cool, chic, city living, this is a must see!
