About the Building

Found at 1540 N. State, this impressive condo development in the fashionable Gold Coast neighborhood is one of the most desirable places to live. Built in 1959, the large windows and modernist façade of this building conjure images of Mary Tyler Moore, but the units inside are some of the most comfortable and luxurious that can be found.

The units in this building range from 1 to 3 bedrooms. Depending on the size of the property, you can expect to pay anywhere from just below the market price to just or slightly above the market price for a place in this great residence. The larger units offer 1500 square feet of living space while the smaller ones are 600 square feet in area. Most of the floorplans include 100-square-foot kitchens, which should provide plenty of counter space to mass produce lunches for kids to take to school, prepare dinner for the family, or assemble a masterful spread of finger-foods for the next spur-of-the-moment get-together thrown your way. And, don't worry about where everyone is going to sit, with 240 square-foot living rooms and 240 square-foot dining rooms, you can treat your guests to a formal affair at the dinner table, or let them hangout in front of the TV.

Chicago is home to voluminous housing options that include countless high-rise condominiums and other residential buildings, spanning the blocks from the Loop to the lake to the outlying regions of the city limits. As one of the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., the majority of the population here resides in traditional multi-unit structures, like this one. But sometimes the deal-breaker in purchasing a new home comes down to whether your four-legged family member is welcome in the building or not. Well, this is one residential building that happens to be pet friendly, so Fluffy and Fido can make the move, too.
