Lakeview Roofdeck



This is a great example of one of Chicago's favorite outdoor hangouts - the roofdeck of a 5 unit building.  This deck is private to the penthouse unit. 

The 2000 square foot condo has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, was built in 2006 and has great finishes.  There is a balcony off the living area plus the deck (good placement for grilling).  The private roofdeck is a great bonus space for this home and true way to experience nights under the stars.

Small price for large deck in Lakeview





I found an unexpected terrace space this week - located in a highrise in Lakeview, this large one bedroom condo has a nice west facing terrace with access from sliding doors in the living room and bedroom. You can see that the current owners enjoy planting and growing things.

Listed at only $227,000 - this is a steal for your own piece of outdoors. For all of you sun and fresh air lovers, the building also has a rooftop pool (of course it's not private like the terrace).

Small building with private roofdeck in the Gold Coast








This gem is nestled on a tree lined street in the Gold Coast (condo building consists of 4 units). Surrounded by brownstones and high rises, this neighborhood is a favorite of many.

This vintage penthouse is exquisitely updated and boasts 2 bedrooms, 2 luxurious bathrooms, a separate dining room, large living room and top of the line kitchen - all suited for gracious living. Topping it all is a private roofdeck. (you also have parking). Priced at $899,000 - this is a rare offering.
I especially like that the terrace has built in planters and is nicely landscaped.
