Rarely available 02 tier unit with gorgeous tree top views of Arrigo Park. Housed in the former Columbus Extension Hospital, which was built by Mother Cabrini and converted to residential lofts in 1997, this condo is located in a peaceful enclave in the heart of Little Italy, near Taylor Street, UIC campus, and the Illinois Medical District. Flooded with western light, the condo has an open floor plan with a fully enclosed bedroom, new HVAC (2025), new roller blinds, refinished hardwood floors, gas log fireplace and 11-foot concrete beam ceilings. The fire-resistant masonry construction helps buffer noise and modulate room temperature. Residents have access to sizeable storage lockers, an exercise room and rooftop deck with spectacular skyline views of downtown Chicago. A prime garage parking space near the elevator is included.
Little Italy, located between the University of Illinois Chicago campus and the West Loop, is a historic and walkable Chicago neighborhood with classic brick flats and a restaurant-lined main drag. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Taylor Street near Racine Avenue, where old-school Italian eateries, espresso counters, and corner bakeries keep the sidewalks busy. Community pillars include the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame, the Italian American Museum of Chicago, and Rosebud on Taylor. Tree-lined blocks mix greystones, two-flats, and newer mid-rises, giving the streetscape a layered look. Arrigo Park and the surrounding courts add a daily rhythm of pick-up games and festivals. CTA Blue Line access at UIC-Halsted links the area to downtown and O’Hare.
