About this unit

Welcome to your private oasis in the heart of the South Loop. This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence in Museum Park offers a rare city living experience-an oversized patio spanning the full width of the unit, creating a private outdoor retreat that feels worlds away. While this unit is situated on a lower level, the terrace opens to a professionally landscaped garden, creating a quiet, tucked-away retreat with a surprising sense of privacy. Inside, the open-concept layout is enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and custom remote shades offering both light filtering and blackout options. The primary suite features direct patio access, two generous closets, and an ensuite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate shower. The second bedroom offers a large wall closet and is conveniently located next to a full bath with Kohler fixtures-ideal for guests or family. The kitchen is designed for both function and flow, seamlessly connecting to the living and dining areas. Features include granite countertops, double oven, KitchenAid stainless steel refrigerator, and Thermador dishwasher. A flexible adjacent space provides an ideal home office or den. Additional highlights include an in-unit LG ThinQ washer and dryer. This full-amenity building offers 24-hour door staff, fitness center, outdoor pool, sundeck, fire pit, grilling areas, and on-site management. One premium garage parking space is included in the price; a second premium space is available for $35,000. Both accommodate larger vehicles. Unbeatable location just steps from the lakefront, Grant Park, Millennium Park, Museum Campus, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Soldier Field, the Loop, and public transportation.

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.
