01About this home

This is the one you've been waiting for. An east-facing and spacious one-bedroom with a private balcony, city and lake views, and recently rehabbed kitchen and bathroom. Step inside and you are immediately greeted by an open floor plan bathed in natural light, with luxury vinyl flooring flowing throughout and floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with fresh cabinetry and champagne bronze hardware, a new backsplash, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. An added breakfast bar is perfect for morning coffee or casual entertaining. The large living area opens directly onto your private balcony, where sweeping views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline set the scene for summer sunrises and evening cocktails alike. Retreat to the generously sized bedroom, easily accommodating a king-sized bed and a full wall of closets providing exceptional storage. Waking up to lake views from the bedroom is a luxury that never gets old. The renovated bath rounds out the space with refined fixtures, a brand-new oak finished vanity and a clean quartz countertop to match the kitchen. Americana Towers is a full-service high-rise featuring an outdoor pool and sundeck, fitness center, 24-hour door staff, party room, valet/dry cleaning services, on-site valet garage parking, and laundry facilities. Steps from Lincoln Park, the lakefront, and the Old Town Triangle, residents enjoy easy access to the beach, boutique shops and dining, as well as the beloved Old Town Art Fair. The Sedgwick CTA station is just 0.3 miles away, with multiple bus routes nearby for effortless commuting. This is city living with everything at your doorstep!
