Welcome home to this beautiful and bright 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo in Chicago's historic MDA building just steps from Lake Shore Drive and Foster Beach! This newly-painted unit offers one of the more spacious layouts, including a large living room, separate dining room for hosting friends and family that can also be used as an office/den/multipurpose room, ample-sized bedroom with plenty of closet storage, and a newly updated bathroom. So many building amenities including a doorman, fitness center, party/common room, on-site management, bike room, and additional storage locker. Enjoy the beautifully landscaped courtyard with a striking Art Deco fountain where you can sit and relax, read, or take part in one of the many community events such as morning coffee talk, evening happy hours, courtyard yoga, group gardening days, building-wide holiday parties, and monthly board meetings. The building offers convenient access to express buses (146, 147, & 136), the Argyle Red Line, Lake Shore Drive, and plenty of shopping and dining. There is an access tunnel across the street that leads directly to Foster Beach-summer doesn't get any better than that! Nothing to do here but move in and enjoy all this home has to offer!
