535 N. Michigan in Streeterville on the Mag Mile was built in 1962. You might not even notice the building when you’re walking by on the street.

You can’t tell it from the pictures, but the master bathroom is apparently completely open into the master bedroom- ala “European style.” Basically, if you’re […]
