840 Michigan Ave

A low-rise, architecturally notable two-story townhouse-style condominium complex built in 1985 and located in Southeast Evanston near the lake. The project groups multi-level units—many configured as duplexes or three-level townhomes—with living spaces that include open living/dining rooms, lofted family rooms, and private outdoor terraces or patios. Interior finishes commonly feature quartz or slate counters, cherry or bamboo-style cabinetry/laminate floors, in-unit laundry, and thoughtfully updated kitchens and baths. Several units include wood-burning fireplaces, abundant natural light from large windows, and built-in storage; some first-floor layouts provide a bedroom and direct indoor access to garage-level storage. Common building amenities are modest and practical, including storage lockers and an outdoor grill, while vehicular provisions typically include secured heated garage spaces, tandem parking options, and occasional exterior spots. The property is recognized as architecturally significant in the Historic Lake Shore District, reflecting mid-century modern influences in massing and fenestration. The association permits pets and allows rentals under defined terms; the building is all-electric and benefits from short walks to Main Street shops, Metra and CTA stations, parks, beaches, and nearby schools, creating a walkable, transit-rich neighborhood lifestyle.
