When you think of a loft, you think of the ones you see in the movies or on television with spiral staircases, massive ceilings, brick, timber and unique features.  In recent years, the lofts that have been renovated and marketed in Chicago have not really been close to this old loft ideal as developers rushed to fill demand by building smaller sized units and many times taking out the uniqueness.

After all, many people want walls in their condo, right?

But there are still remnants of the old loft culture alive and well in Chicago.  You just have to know where to look.

3155 S. Archer #1 is such a loft.  Total square footage is 3700 with 2600 square feet being the actual living space (1100 is unfinished first floor footage, according to the listing.)  It is a duplex unit with a back patio.  It also has two car parking.

  • Current list price $499,000

Look at those tin ceilings!  The extend the entire length of the loft.  It’s not everyday that you see a loft like this.

This unit is not far from Chinatown and the South Loop.  Rubloff has the listing.
