RARELY AVAILABLE "F" TIER AT SHORELINE TOWERS! Sitting high on the 19th floor, this spacious 1-bedroom gives you something you don't find often at this price point-a large private balcony, incredible lake, skyline and park views, generous room sizes AND all the perks of a full-amenity lakefront building. The balcony is one of the best parts of this unit. With south and east exposures, you get beautiful views of Lake Michigan, the surrounding park and the Chicago skyline all from your own private outdoor space. The balcony is large, extends slightly around the unit and gives you plenty of room to actually sit outside, add furniture and enjoy the view. Morning coffee overlooking the water, summer nights outside or watching the city light up after sunset-this is outdoor space you'll actually use. Inside, the amount of space continues. The living room is extremely large with plenty of room for a full living room setup, dining area and additional furniture without feeling crowded. One wall features beautiful mirrors that open up the space even more, reflect the natural light and bring the views into the room. The bedroom is another standout. This isn't a bedroom where you have to choose between a larger bed and having space left over-a KING-SIZE BED fits comfortably while still allowing room for additional bedroom furniture. The entire unit has been freshly painted throughout and professionally deep cleaned, so it is completely move-in ready for its next owner. Large windows, an open feel, generous room sizes and that private balcony make 19F feel like much more than your typical one-bedroom condo. And then you get everything Shoreline Towers has to offer. This is a full-amenity building with 24-hour door staff, on-site management and engineer, fitness center, rooftop sundeck, party/hospitality room, receiving area, bike room, laundry facilities, additional storage and parking options available through the condominium association. The HOA offers a ton of value as well. The association maintains a LARGE RESERVE BALANCE with NO PENDING OR ONGOING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, and your monthly assessment covers nearly all of your utilities, including heat, A/C, water, scavenger, cable and internet. The owner only pays electric. And you are literally STEPS FROM THE BEACH. Lake Michigan is right outside your door, along with the lakefront, parks and trails. Loyola University, restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, shopping and public transportation are all nearby, giving you the convenience of city living while having the lake practically in your backyard. It's hard to find a one-bedroom at this price point where you're getting this combination of space, a large private balcony, lake AND skyline views, a king-size bedroom, full building amenities, nearly all utilities included in the HOA and a well-funded association with no pending or ongoing special assessments. 19F is one of those units you need to see in person to fully appreciate. Come for the balcony and views, and you'll quickly realize how much else you're getting with it. Schedule your private showing today!
