Just a block west of Grant Park you'll find a beautiful redbrick condo building that is one of the South Loop's hot real estate properties. The Residences of 41 East 8th Street were constructed in 2002 - a tall, modern design that draws from some of Chicago's classic architecture. Aside from an attractive exterior facade, the condos are surrounded by the historic row houses of Printer's Row, popular Chicago colleges, and world-class cultural institutions. Not to mention the gorgeous landscaped gardens and winding walkways of several nearby public parks.
The Residences of 41 East 8th Street rise 32 stories in the air and have seven units per floor. The condos offer open, sun-washed living spaces with individual balconies that afford great views of Chicago's unmistakable skyline and Lake Michigan. Large windows take advantage of the sunlight, brightening every corner of the rooms and giving each unit a cheery, fresh appeal. A galley kitchen is a nice use of available space that features a generous island, granite counters and maple cabinets. The master suite is a good size with walk-in closet, en suite bath, relaxing soaking tub and separate shower.
There's extra storage space in the building as well as a bike room and indoor deeded parking. Residents who want to soak up some afternoon rays can go up to the sundeck and those who want to get in a workout will appreciate the on-site exercise room with machines and free weights. A Caribou Coffee shop on the ground level is also convenient for getting that morning cup of joe or late night pick-me-up.
Two-bedroom condos at The Residences of 41 East 8th Street are typically around 1,200 square feet (some are bigger). Current listings range between $235,000 and $434,000 (which averages out to roughly $280/square foot). Assessments for condo owners include water, cooking gas, TV/cable and animal lovers will be happy to know that cats and dogs are allowed. A 24-hour doorman is on duty to assist with visitors to the building.
