This art filled loft is in the Donohue Building where the loft experience began in Chicago in the late 70's. Big windows bring in sunshine in the mornings. There are genuine hardwood floors, massive wood columns, exposed timber ceilings and brick walls. The maple kitchen has (mostly) stainless steel appliances and countertops. The Bertazzoni refrigerator was installed in 2021. The GE electric range has a top broiler and a lower convection oven. There is also a GE microwave, wine cooler and a black fronted Kitchenaid dishwasher. The primary bath has a granite topped vanity with an undermount sink and lots of counter space. The tub/shower is fancifully tiled. The washer and dryer are hidden behind a rattan folding screen. The guest bath is located far from the action near the front door and has a shower stall. The long entrance gallery is perfect for extra storage and an art collection. The current owner even uses it as a study. The primary bedroom is currently being used as an art studio and office as well as a guest room. The second bedroom currently has a queen size bed (but has room for a king) and is tucked behind the vast living room/dining room/kitchen space. This is loft living that is both authentic to its roots, but still affords the privacy of separate bedrooms. Every possible inch of space is utilized for storage tucked in areas around the apartment. The seller is even willing to sell most of the artwork to the buyer who would like it left in place. It is terrific entertaining space on the premier block of Printers Row.
