Pricing and availability are subject to change.
Buyers searching for a 2-bedroom condo in University Commons under $400K have a newly updated option at 1151 W 15th St Unit 237, Chicago, IL 60608.
Listed at $389,000, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo offers approximately 1,036 square feet, two fully enclosed bedrooms, a private balcony with treetop views, fireplace, in-unit laundry, and an extensive collection of 2023 upgrades.
Major 2023 Updates Give the Interior a Fresh Look
One of the home's strongest selling points is the amount of work already completed.
Updates made in 2023 include the kitchen, primary bathroom, guest bathroom, fireplace surrounds, and closet systems in the primary bedroom, second bedroom, and hallway.
The renovated kitchen features white quartz countertops with gray and gold veining, a matching backsplash, and a waterfall-style island that creates a natural focal point between the kitchen and living area.
Hardwood flooring, exposed concrete ceilings and visible ductwork maintain the industrial character associated with University Commons while the newer finishes give the residence a more contemporary feel.
Two Fully Enclosed Bedrooms and a Private Balcony
Both bedrooms are fully enclosed, an important detail for buyers comparing loft-style residences where bedroom walls may not always extend fully to the ceiling.
The primary suite includes floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in closet, and an updated bathroom with a glass shower.
The second bedroom also receives natural light and can function as a traditional bedroom, guest space, or dedicated home office.
In the living room, a fireplace with a black quartz surround and slatted-panel overmantel creates a strong visual centerpiece. The room opens directly to the private balcony, extending the living area outdoors and providing treetop views.
Full-Amenity Living at University Commons
University Commons gives residents access to considerably more than the individual condo.
Community amenities include an outdoor pool, fitness center, party room, rentable theater, dog runs, rooftop decks with skyline views, and landscaped common areas.
A storage cage is included, and parking is available.
University Commons itself occupies the historic former South Water Market complex, giving the community a distinctive architectural identity compared with many newer condo developments in Chicago.
