The Chicago Loft!

Finally, here is the much anticipated virtual tour of our sexy Chicago Loft!

First off – this place is a celebration of space!  After 14 months in a super tiny, WAY overpriced 700 Sq Ft, 1 bedroom apartment in New York, we set SPACE as our #1 priority! Nate has always wanted to live in a loft, so we figured this was his best chance to do so.  It’s likely a matter of time before we step up our responsibility and move to the suburbs…

Our new home boasts 2 bedrooms (each with a skylight that opens a little), 2 bathrooms and a great room open to the kitchen!  The 12 ft ceilings make this place feel huge!  We had no idea just how much we missed Miles having his own room until we moved back to the midwest!

Before we get moving, here’s a floor plan to give you perspective!

Enjoy your tour!

When walking into our place from the hallway – you will walk through this door.  Next, we’ll show you Miles’/guest bathroom. It’s the white trimmed door down the short hall to the right.

And here we are…. To your left is a small coat closet.

Leaving the bathroom, here’s your view.  The entry door would be to your right.  Even further to the right is Miles’ bedroom. We’ll go there next.

Here’s Miles’ room – he loves the double pocket doors!

Here’s what Miles sees from his room.  Are you lost yet?  That’s the hallway that went to his bathroom. The first set of white doors is a utility/furnace closet. The next set is the stacked washer/dryer.

This is standing next to the laundry doors going further into the apartment.  To the left is a long, wide hallway. Immediately to the left in that hallway is our bedroom.

Here’s our room.  In the first room picture, the bathroom is off to the left.

Here’s the bathroom.

Next.. We’ve left the master bedroom and walked to the end of the hallway. This is the view down the hallway looking back toward the entryway and master bedroom (door on right).

Here’s the great room(straight ahead) and the kitchen (left).

Here’s the same space, but the view from the windows instead.

Finally, just outside the windows is a balcony! We are able to have a grill again! Unfortunately, it was a little too dark outside when trying to take the outdoor pictures.  I couldn’t get a decent picture of the view. But – you’re in luck because Nate was clever!

Nate went up one flight of stairs to the roof deck just above our apartment to do some long exposure night time thing. You can even see our skylight bubble at the bottom of the picture – oops!

Here’s our view!

Well, there you have it…..  I hope you liked our new place. We love it!

Come out and see us! We’ve got plenty of space…. FINALLY
