After 3 Years on the Market, This 3-Bedroom Overlooking Grant Park Finally Sells: 1142 S. Michigan
We chattered about this 3-bedroom in this boutique building at 1142 S. Michigan in the South Loop off and on over the last 3 years.
(The building is the midrise just to the right of the Colombian in the picture above.)
See our March 2010 chatter here.
The building only has 8 units and this full floor unit had Grant Park views.
At 3800 square feet, it had 2 home offices and a library.
The living/dining/kitchen overlooked Grant Park and Lake Michigan.
The kitchen hds white cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops.
There were also three small balconies.
Originally listed at $2.1 million in 2008, it was reduced a couple of times before finally selling for $1.26 million in May 2011.
Scott Foster at Re/Max Exclusive had the listing.
You can still see the virtual tour at 1142 S. Michigan Tour– with music [website].

I really like this place. Good light, nice view, and high end finishes. Good layout. Congrats to the buyer…I think they got a deal. Assessments don’t seem out of line if they include at least some utilities.
I wish i was the buyer. Loved this place even at its 2.1 mil price tag.
just never had 2.3 laying around (the extra 200k would be to add a bathtub somewhere and turn the office into a bedroom)
Nice looking unit, but unfortunately the building is dwarfed and overshadowed by the behemoth next door.
I’m jealous.
“a huge laundry room”
haha
this building is mugsy and the columbian is manute.

CH Haaa haaaa haaaa that was a perfect comparison to this slice of Chicago R.E. Nice work!
Why buy here when you could have bought 152 West Huron Street 4 for $640k and designed it yourself?
“Why buy here when you could have bought 152 West Huron Street ”
Huron and LaSalle is across from the Park? Wormhole?

is what he was talking about. It’s bigger, is the whole floor, has a quite usable balcony + roof deck access, could have a laundry room bigger than most 2/2 combo rooms, and arguably a better location for shopping, dining, etc.
The one thing it doesn’t have is direct access to the park, w/o resorting to hypothetical physics.

you can run really fast with a kite off the roof, or do a webster (see opening credits with balloons).
“and arguably a better location for shopping, dining, etc”
i would def argue that, but my pref is always sloop over RN
will concede to steve that the raw space is always better!
“i would def argue that, but my pref is always sloop over RN”
That’s a diff’rent strokes argument, so no one’s right or wrong.

thx.
That was a very special comment, just for your Webster ref.
And, as they say, the more you know …
3 – 2 – 1 contact?
maybe I can put up some falun gong signs at 152 W. Huron
