We chattered about this cool 3300-square foot loft with amazing rooftop pool at 2250 W. Ohio in West Town in November 2007.

The listing calls it a “Lincoln Park Penthouse” but this 2-bedroom at 2819 N. Lakewood is north of Diversey, which makes it Lakeview in my book.
First listed in March 2008, this 2005 construction unit is still sitting on the market.
