Evanston, IL 60201
Welcome to Optima Towers - a modern building nestled in a lush courtyard space in downtown Evanston. This is a rare opportunity to own the only 1 bedroom unit on the penthouse floor! This home has not been available for sale since 2005, so this is a great opportunity to take advantage of this amazing space! Enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline. The kitchen and bathroom skylights, along with floor to ceiling windows flood this unit with an extraordinary amount of natural light. Brand new luxury vinyl floors and paint create an amazing neutral canvas that is waiting for you to make it your own! A heated indoor parking space is included, but if you feel like taking a stroll, you are steps away from award winning restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and so much more. Northwestern's campus is a few blocks away, so it's also a great space for a Wildcat! Whether you choose to decompress on your large balcony, sweat it out in the gym, or watch the sunset from your bedroom, this can be the perfect place to make memories. Just a block from both a Metra train stop and the Purple Line, all roads lead to this being your ideal new home.
