Awake every day to beautiful lake views! Whether from your bedroom, kitchen, dining area, or living room - even your balcony. The Chicago skyline is visible, too. This 1 bedroom with den home is the perfect Goldilocks option if you find the typical 1 bedroom too small yet don't need the space and tax/assessment expenses of a 2 bedroom. Plus, love the move-in ready convenience of the updates and condition in this condo at the full amenity Optima Horizons Association. The kitchen has all new cabinets, quartz counters, INDUCTION cooktop, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave, backsplash, flooring, lighting and more. Its redesigned layout provides open, unobstructed lake views by eliminating the unsightly overhanging cabinets above the island typical in the original build. The bath is refreshed with a new double vanity, faucets, toilet, and flooring. In fact, flooring throughout the home is newly installed durable ez-care waterproof vinyl you'll think is wood. The in-unit washer/dryer is brand new. The living room and bedroom feature power window blinds, including blackout style in the bedroom for when you want to snuggle in bed a bit longer. The den provides great work-at-home space (yet also note the nook for a desk in the bedroom, too) that can double as a guest room or TV room or whatever extra need you have. Walk-in closet by the entry plus plentiful closets in the bedroom and by the bath provide great storage. TWO deeded garage spots! Only because of the call of career opportunities does the seller reluctantly give up this dreamy space and offer it to become your new home.
View our Virtual 3D Tour! Bird's Eye View! Dramatic views of Lake Michigan, Chicago skyline, Northwestern and downtown Evanston from this open and spacious 14th floor unit. Largest 1 bedroom plus den in the building. Soak in the sunrise from the private balcony or admire the unobstructed views from the comfort of the open living area. Floor to ceiling windows bring the views to life. Features include new hardwood floors, fresh paint and in-unit laundry. 2 Deeded parking spots in the HEATED garage. Tons of building amenities including doorman, elevator, exercise room, heated pool and hot tub, BBQ on terrace and party room. Assessments cover many extras including broadband Internet w/WiFi and basic cable television, complimentary onsite document destruction service and package receiving service. Walk to top Evanston dining and shops, parks, Lake Michigan, Northwestern and more. Great transportation options with the L and Metra close by.

D4
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.
