What’s special

Central air1-car garageIn-unit laundry
Perched on the 52nd floor of one of the Gold Coast's most premier and secure buildings, you will enjoy an awesome corner view, north on Lakeshore Drive with the lakefront as far as the eye can see and west to award-winning sunsets. Across the street from the Magnificent Mile, the Museum of Contemporary Art, a park, and blocks from Lake Michigan, this bright 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit offers an open and airy 1,900 sf of living space. The primary suite has been recently renovated with custom-made rain glass doors leading into a large bedroom with 2 walk-in closets. The primary bath includes Robern fixtures, a Toto toilet, and more than adequate storage space. The second bedroom, currently used as an exercise room, can be closed off and includes a large closet. The entryway as well as much of the unit has been furnished with a museum-quality hanging system for your artwork, and beautiful hardwood floors occupy the majority of the unit. The island kitchen has ample granite counter space, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, as well as stainless steel appliances. The building has an extraordinary team, including a concierge, door staff, as well as exceptional security. In addition, Olympia Center boasts world-class views of the city and air show from its 63rd-story deck, a glorious swimming pool and jacuzzi, as well as two separate workout rooms. This competitively priced unit has been appointed with everything one would need for the perfect city dwelling.
