About this unit

Welcome to a slice of Chicago history in one of Printers Row's most iconic buildings! This 10th-floor 1-bedroom at Printers Square has loft-inspired character from the building's 1913 bones, with the ease of full-service elevator-condo living layered on top. Bright, west-facing light pours through the oversized windows, filling the open living and dining space from afternoon to sunset. The kitchen sits perfectly at the heart of the home, with stainless appliances, warm, timeless cabinetry, a large pantry, and enough counter space to actually cook. The bedroom is a real standout thanks to fresh carpet, ample space for a desk or Peloton, and a generously sized walk-in closet. Newer HVAC, some updated lighting, and a same-floor storage locker seal the "just move in" deal. Want space for guests but wondering how to do it with a 1-bedroom? Thanks to the custom Murphy Bed, flanked by custom floor-to-ceiling bookcases in the living room, you can finally have your cake and eat it too. Printers Square is one of the best-managed buildings in the neighborhood, with over $2M in reserves, a completed front facade restoration, a funded north/south/west facade project about to kick off, updated hallways and entryways, a new roof, and an ongoing window replacement project. All of this means you won't face any unexpected surprises anytime soon. Enjoy the fitness room, on-site laundry (in-unit laundry can be added), package room, dry cleaner, bike storage, and elevator access - plus Xfinity internet is included in the HOA. And the location? Unbeatable. You're at the crossroads of Printers Row, the South Loop, and the Loop itself - walk to Grant Park, the Museum Campus, Dearborn Station Metra, and the CTA Red, Blue, and Orange Lines. Sandmeyer's Bookstore, Harold Washington Library, Roosevelt Collection shopping, and all of the great dining along Dearborn and Polk are right at your doorstep. Whether you're commuting into the Loop, catching a game at Soldier Field, or spending Sundays along the Lakefront, everything you need is just outside the door. Character-filled, low-maintenance, and unbeatably located - this one checks every box.

Where it is

FAQ

Where do these listings come from?

Straight from the Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) MLS, refreshed regularly — the same listings your buyer's agent sees, no curated subset.

Can I work with Dibze to buy?

Yes. A licensed Chicago buyer's agent lines up tours, writes offers, and handles the close. The seller pays the commission, so it's free to you — and we rebate part of it back at closing.

Can I rent in this building?

If owners are leasing units, the For Rent tab shows them. These are individual condo owners listing through the MLS, so lease terms and pet rules vary by unit.

How is this different from Redfin or Zillow?

Same MLS feed, different model — we don't sell your contact info or turn every click into a lead. One Dibze condo expert handles your whole search and represents you, not the seller.
