Property Description
A private backyard above the city! Experience a rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable condos in the building, featuring an extraordinary private sky terrace on the coveted fifth floor. Unlike the other condos, which offer standard balconies, this expansive outdoor retreat provides a true extension of your living space, complete with breathtaking sunset views, beautifully illuminated trees in the evening, and direct access through the landscaped green space to the community grilling area and fitness center. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the condo with natural afternoon light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere while showcasing peaceful views of the lush outdoor space. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by an open, functional layout, the convenience of in-unit laundry, and an instant hot water heater at the kitchen sink for added everyday comfort and efficiency. This full-service building offers an exceptional collection of amenities designed to elevate everyday living. Enjoy a heated indoor pool and spa, a fitness center just steps from your door, beautifully landscaped community gardens, an expansive shared outdoor terrace with grilling stations, a community kitchen for entertaining, secure package acceptance, bike storage, a private storage locker, and an assigned covered garage parking space conveniently located just one floor below the unit. The building also offers guest parking, making visits from friends, family, vendors, and deliveries simple and convenient, along with ample surrounding street parking. A secure entrance with a full-time doorman provides added comfort and peace of mind. Perfectly situated in the heart of vibrant downtown Evanston, you'll be just steps from acclaimed restaurants, cafes, boutiques, theaters, year-round community events, Northwestern University, and the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline. Commuting is effortless with both Metra and CTA Purple Line stations just moments away, offering quick access to downtown Chicago. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare. With one of the building's only oversized private terraces, spectacular sunset views, floor-to-ceiling windows, exceptional amenities, an instant hot water dispenser at the kitchen sink, and an unbeatable downtown location, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy luxury condo living at its finest.
