1160 S Michigan Ave Condo

The most desirable corner in the elegant Columbian Condominiums on the 34th floor is available for a 6 month short term rental. It is also available for purchase. This 3BR 2BA condo is almost 2000 sq ft with a 57 sq ft balcony and the best view in town. It looks over Grant Park to the Lake on the east and north to the the city and Navy Pier: there will never be a fireworks that you'll miss. No one will ever be able to build across from the building, so it is one of the very few sites left in Chicago that is truly view protected. The last 3BR on a floor over the 30th in this spectacular NE corner tier closed in 2022. These high floor units just never hit the market, but now is your opportunity to rent or purchase one. Gleaming hardwood floors extend throughout the main living areas and down the hallways to the bedrooms. Each bedroom has high-end fine woven wool carpet. The 2 full baths have marble tiles on the walls and floors and granite countertops with undermounted sinks.The primary bath has a separate whirlpool tub a d the hall bath has a two person shower stall. The kitchen has wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances as well as granite countertops. This is one of the units in which the half bath was converted to a new laundry room and the original laundry was turned into a spacious pantry with a sliding translucent glass door off the kitchen. If you want the 1/2 bath to return, all the plumbing still exists for an easy conversion. Each room has hardwired power control shades that drop at the touch of a switch. The bedrooms have room darkening shades and the public rooms have lighter shades to block out the harsh morning sun but let in great light. TWO deeded parking spots (#510 & 511), side by side are right off the elevator. They are included in the price. The rent includes everything (even the parking) except for the electricity. Your heat and AC and cooking gas as well as hot water are included. The building has a terrific amenity floor on the 9th floor with outdoor gardens with grills and tables to eat and furniture for relaxing. Inside is a party room with a full kitchen, and a business center for private meetings. The top floor has the exercise room with fabulous views while you are working out. The location is incomparable. It's an easy walk or roll to the Museum Campus, the parks and the famous Lakefront bike/walking path. Around the corner are Trader Joes, Jewel Supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants and the CTA stop with trains connecting to everywhere in the city. Buses stop right outside. The Loop is just blocks to the north with everything that makes Chicago vibrant. Easy access to all of the highways too.
