Property Description

True 2-bedroom, 2-bath timber loft in Vanguard Lofts that lives like a townhome, featuring a rare private, gated second entrance with direct access to parking and the sidewalk-no elevator required which is dog-parent's or biker's dream! This corner end-unit offers exceptional privacy and natural light with North and West exposures, soaring ~14' ceilings, exposed brick, timber beams, and industrial ductwork throughout. The open-concept living space is anchored by a gas fireplace with floor-to-ceiling stone surround and custom built-ins, flowing seamlessly into an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, painted cabinetry, deep sink, and newer stainless steel appliances (2024-2025). The fully enclosed primary suite is a standout for loft living, offering true privacy along with a massive, fully built-out walk-in closet and en-suite bath. A well-proportioned second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or both, complemented by a second full bath. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry (2025), updated mechanicals (furnace/AC 2022), refinished natural oak flooring, and excellent storage with a dedicated cage and bike room just steps from the unit. Deeded exterior parking space included. Pet-friendly building with strong community feel, guest parking, and unbeatable access to Skinner Park, Fulton Market, West Loop dining, Target, Mariano's, Whole Foods, and the Blue Line. Easy access to I-290 and I-90.
