There are Skylights Everywhere: 330 S. Michigan
It’s rare to see skylights in a large condo building, but you can find them in the penthouse units at 330 S. Michigan in the Loop.
The building was constructed in 1911 but converted about 8 years ago into condominiums. The building faces the lake and Millennium Park and has parking.
One of the penthouses is currently on the market. You can see the skylights pretty clearly in the pictures.
Unit #2002: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1500 square feet
- Sold in April 2000 for $290,000
- Currently listed for $499,000 plus $45,000 for parking
- Duel skylights in the living/dining area
- Full-sized washer dryer in its own laundry room area
- Assessments of $650 a month
- Keller Williams- River North Office has the listing
The paint and decor aren’t doing these owners any favors that’s for sure. Talk about dated.
The even painted the trim and doors salmon-rose and powder blue. What were they thinking???????
Quite underwhelming to be sure.
It looks like the 1980s threw up all over the entire apartment.
There is one indication that the pictures aren’t from the 1980’s given the computer screen in the bottom picture, otherwise I’d have thought they just reused old photos. Gotta love the light wood cabinets contrasted by the white appliances, BLUE countertop and powder blue walls and trim. It is a hedge podge of designs elements that should all be rejected. $1,000-$2,000 could do wonders to this place…..
Attention: Can you please refrain from the personal attacks on the decor of the property?
Just because it’s not your taste, doesn’t mean it isn’t someone else’s.
Someone might like red walls, while someone else likes taupe. Same with the items we call our “things.”
I’m just trying to keep things positive.
Thanks!

Sure. Sorry. You can delete those posts if you want. I was just shocked at photos…it doesn’t show well at all.
The MLS listing now has different pictures. Maybe the listing agent or the owner read the comments.
I know I was a tad harsh, but gosh darn it, it was pretty bad! I was thinking that $1,000 in paint, decluttering, etc. could do a lot for that place. LOL
I showed this property last week to clients interested in being on the park – the best selling point is the view – really beautiful. The surprising thing that the listing agent told me was that in lieu of a roof deck, the owners opted for skylights – very poor choice. If the roof rights are negotiable it would make a substantial difference. Units on the east side of the building have higher ceilings and taller windows. This unit’s layout was not ideal – the decor can be changed, unfortunately the layout simple doesn’t work.
Tom: Thanks for the update. They had the option to put in the roofdeck? Wow. Too bad as that could have been stunning (depending on how its done, of course.)
Sabrina — thanks for deleting my post. Point taken, and I’m sorry — not like me at all.
No problem Michael. I think we just need to focus on the actual property itself and not so much on the things that are in it.
It’s a legitimate issue to talk about layout, paint, stainless steel appliances etc.- as that’s why there is a whole industry that does staging and why there are shows on HGTV called “designed to sell” and whatnot.
But I just wanted to remind people to keep it positive.
