Description
True timber loft that actually functions with the rare advantage of living like a townhome in West Loop. This corner, end-unit at Vanguard Lofts is the only unit in the building with a private, gated exterior entrance, making everyday living seamless, whether it's taking the dog out, bringing in groceries, or skipping the elevator altogether. Inside, you'll find authentic loft character of 14+' ceilings, exposed brick and ductwork, paired with thoughtful, high-impact updates throughout. The kitchen has been fully refreshed with quartz countertops, painted cabinetry, and newer appliances including a 2025 stove, 2025 dishwasher, and 2024 microwave. The living space is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a custom-built dry bar with wine fridge, built-in shelving, and a floor-to-ceiling stone-accent fireplace wall. The layout offers a fully enclosed primary suite (rare for lofts) with a custom-built-in closet system, electric blinds in both primary bedroom and living room, plus a second bedroom and second full bathroom, and open-concept living space with north and west exposures, bringing in natural light while maintaining privacy. Major mechanical updates provide peace of mind, including a 2022 furnace and AC, and a 2025 LG washer/dryer. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, deeded exterior parking, and easy access to nearby storage cage and bike room. All set in a well-managed, pet-friendly building with strong reserves, walkable to Fulton Market, Randolph Street, Skinner Park, and multiple transit options. A rare combination of true loft character, functional layout, and meaningful upgrades.
