Two Fully Enclosed Bedrooms in a Loft Layout
Unlike some Chicago lofts with partial-height bedroom walls, this residence offers two fully enclosed bedrooms.
That added privacy makes the floor plan practical for roommates, guests, working from home, or anyone who wants separation between sleeping and living spaces.
Soaring ceilings and a wall of windows maintain the open loft atmosphere, while the combination of concrete and warm wood finishes gives the home its industrial character.
Fireplace + Private Balcony
The main living area centers around a slate-clad fireplace, creating a natural focal point for the room.
Large windows bring in natural light throughout the day, while hardwood floors connect the living and dining spaces.
Just outside is a private balcony overlooking a tree-lined street and University Commons' landscaped grounds, giving renters their own outdoor space within the community.
Granite Kitchen and a Spacious Primary Suite
The kitchen features richly stained cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar.
The layout keeps the kitchen open to the living area, making the space practical for everyday meals as well as entertaining.
The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, ceiling fan, and access to a bathroom with an oversized jetted soaking tub.
The second bedroom also includes a ceiling fan and a distinctive barn-style door.
In-Unit Laundry + Heated Garage Parking Available
An in-unit washer and dryer adds an important everyday convenience.
Renters who need dedicated vehicle storage can also rent heated garage parking, providing another option during Chicago winters.
Parking availability and pricing should be confirmed when scheduling a showing.
University Commons Amenities
University Commons offers more than the individual condo.
Residents have access to amenities including a heated outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, party room, rentable movie theater, rooftop decks with skyline views, landscaped courtyards, pet-friendly walkways, and onsite management.
The community's mix of historic loft architecture and shared amenities is one of the reasons renters often compare individual units within University Commons rather than treating it like a conventional apartment building.
