222 S Racine Avenue unit: 306 306 Welcome to this rarely available one-bedroom loft in the iconic Daily News Building, ideally located in the heart of the West Loop. This stylish 1-bedroom, 1.1-bath true loft blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates, creating a bright, sun-drenched home with a desirable southeast-facing exposure. Major upgrades completed in 2022 include a brand-new kitchen, new maple flooring throughout, and fresh paint, allowing the space to shine with natural light. Classic loft details remain front and center with exposed terracotta ceilings, exposed brick walls, and soaring 11' ceilings. The expansive 25' x 30' living and entertaining space offers incredible flexibility and features a stone-surround fireplace. A separate dining area flows seamlessly into the show-stopping kitchen, highlighted by sleek modern cabinetry with custom appliance panels, abundant storage, open shelving, a statement hood over the range, an under-mount sink, and brushed quartz countertops-making this kitchen truly one of a kind. Just off the living room is a highly functional office nook, thoughtfully designed to feel open and connected while still offering a sense of separation and privacy-ideal for a home office, creative workspace, or reading retreat without compromising the loft's expansive feel. The primary suite features large closeted armoires and an additional shelving area perfect for shoes and accessories. The ensuite bathroom is accented with tile and a shower / tub combo. Additional highlights include a sun-drenched south-facing balcony, a spacious foyer with a large hallway closet, and a dedicated laundry/mechanical room with a Bosch full-size stackable washer and dryer plus extra storage. Garage parking space A-6 is included, gas is included in the monthly assessment, and both the unit and building are Google Fiber enabled, with on-site dry cleaning drop-off and pick-up. Perfectly positioned just steps from the CTA Blue Line, Target, Skinner Park, major expressways, and Madison Street dining, with Fulton Market, Randolph Street, and Whole Foods just a short walk away.
