160 E Illinois St

Avenue East is a 26-story boutique condominium completed in 2007, containing roughly 133 residences composed primarily of one- and two-bedroom floor plans. The building’s architecture favors clean, contemporary lines and floor-to-ceiling windows in many units that emphasize natural light and city or lake views. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, granite or quartz counters, high ceilings, custom millwork and built-in bookcases; many homes include split-floor layouts, dedicated dining areas or dens, walk-in closets and in-unit laundry hook-ups. Common indoor amenities are a staffed 24-hour doorman and lobby, a professionally equipped fitness center, a decorated owner’s clubroom/party room, on-site management and storage/bike rooms. Outdoor spaces include a landscaped garden deck, roof deck and a small dog run. Practical building systems include elevator service and a four-pipe heat and air conditioning infrastructure; parking is available in the building’s garage for an additional cost. The property sits steps from Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile, placing residents within easy walking distance of premier shopping, restaurants, Whole Foods and public transit, while offering a quieter residential enclave for both full-time residents and pied-à-terre owners.
