Prepare to be amazed by this completely renovated condo with views of Lake Michigan, Evanston, and Northwestern University! Those pesky hanging cabinets have been removed to maximize the views and open up the space. Additional cabinets in the dining area mean MORE storage than before, and the dining room seems like a real room now! Since purchasing the owners have installed new wood-look LVT flooring throughout and completely renovated both the kitchen and bath. You won't believe that this unit is in the Optima Horizons building. Garage Parking P-88 and Storage S089 are included in the price.

Downtown Transition District

The D4 downtown transition district is intended to provide for business infill development and redevelopment within downtown Evanston. The massing and scale of structures within the D4 district should be reflective of established uses and should provide suitable transition between downtown districts and those districts adjacent to the downtown. The district is also intended to encourage and sustain a mix of office, retail, and residential uses. Planned developments are encouraged as a special use in the D4 district. Where a lot zoned D4 is overlaid with an oRD redevelopment overlay district designation, a planned development is required in order to ensure that proposed development in these areas is consistent with the objectives and policies of the adopted plan for downtown Evanston.
