  1. I lived in this building for a summer – it is very nice and great location. This seems like a very good deal given the moderate assessments, nice finishes and parking.

  2. I mean even if I was rich I wouldn’t want to live in streeterville… but this seems like a pretty good deal to me – it has everything but a second bathroom

  5. I think in the current market this is a great deal for the location and price. assessments are kind of high, but that’s pretty typical of streeterville / gold coast.

    Maybe some nicer furniture/fixtures and this could make look a lot better – that taxi cab frame in the bedroom is a piece from Ikea i literally had in my college dorm as a senior.

    Jon – are the ceilings as low as they look?

  6. This would be a good deal for a parent with a kid at northwestern law. Let them live there, and then you have an in town.

    They weren’t lofty, but they didn’t seem low or anything. Just unremarkable in height, I guess.

    That all looks like rental furniture, so yeah, for sure. Was most likely “staged” for cheap.
