Bright, North-Facing Loft with Private Garden Patio Welcome to this stylish 900 sq ft first-floor loft nestled in a secure, landscaped courtyard in the heart of University Village. Originally a 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout, this home has been thoughtfully opened up into a spacious, airy loft that perfectly blends comfort and flexibility. Soaring 13-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with natural light and offer tranquil views of your own private garden patio-lush with seasonal blooms and ideal for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The expansive 25'x20' living and dining area features a beautifully refurbished fireplace (2022), refinished hardwood floors, and fresh paint throughout (2025), creating a cozy yet modern retreat. The fully updated kitchen (2025) is a true standout, designed with Diamond Express cabinetry, stainless steel counters and appliances, Bosch dishwasher, bottom-freezer refrigerator, microwave, garbage disposal hookup, and a raised breakfast bar-perfect for everyday living or entertaining guests. The freshly painted bathroom includes a new shower head (2025), as well as an updated mirror and light fixture (2022). The sleeping area features warm cork flooring and a premium Elfa Decore+ closet system (2022), offering both style and smart storage. You'll also enjoy in-unit laundry, new USB-C outlets, and central heating and air conditioning. A deeded, heated garage parking space (6'8 clearance) is available for an additional $25K, and a private storage cage is included. This professionally managed, pet-friendly community (up to 3 pets-no breed or weight restrictions) offers a full suite of amenities, including a fitness center, party room, bike storage, movie theater, outdoor pool with sundeck, and a beautifully maintained dog-friendly courtyard. Just beyond your door, you'll find everything that makes this neighborhood feel like home-from the welcoming campus energy of UIC to the vibrant dining and arts scenes of the West Loop, Pilsen, and Fulton Market. Easy access to Metra, CTA, and nearby highways makes commuting a breeze. This is city living with a true sense of community. Click on 3D tour to walk through unit.
