1000 W. 15th Place, Unit 414, Chicago, 60608

You will not find a nicer loft in University Commons! Rarely available and highly desirable easternmost penthouse condo is on the new construction level and has one of few unobstructed views of city. Essentially new (loft has been lived in for only 4 months), this spectacular 2 bedroom/2 bath luxury condo features finished ceilings and full walls (unlike the lower level lofts), home office, private balcony, and numerous exquisite upgrades like no other. Floor to ceiling windows cover one entire wall of both bedrooms, the living room, and the dining room, all of which share the same unobstructed view of Chicago. You have to see the view at night to believe it.
