Perched on the 14th floor with expansive west-facing views, this bright two-bedroom residence overlooks miles of open sky and Evanston's tree-city canopy with no neighboring high-rises blocking the horizon. Offering approximately 1,044 square feet of well-proportioned space, the home features a spacious living and dining area opening onto a private balcony. The kitchen connects directly to the living space and has been thoughtfully improved with additional cabinetry, extended counter space, and custom lighting. The newly installed LG radiant cooktop with griddle element benefits from overhead lighting, only possible because the hanging cabinets were removed to create cleaner sightlines and a more open feel while maintaining separation from the main living area. Notable updates include fresh paint throughout, refinished wood floors, all new faucets, and renovated baths with updated lighting, mirrors, shower tile, and rain-shower fixtures. The primary suite accommodates a king-sized bed and offers a wall of closets and an ensuite bath, while the unusually spacious second bedroom is located adjacent to a second full bath and provides excellent flexibility for guests, a home office, or both. Laundry is conveniently located in a hallway closet rather than inside the primary bath, a meaningful layout advantage for guests and roommates alike. Assessment includes everything but electric. Garage parking and storage are located on the third floor. Optima Horizons is a full-amenity, pet-friendly building with door staff, indoor heated pool, fitness center, and a lovely outdoor patio with grills and convenient kitchenette. The building is ideally located in the heart of downtown Evanston near restaurants, shopping, CTA and Metra trains, Northwestern University, and the lakefront. Welcome Home!
