Perched on the 26th floor of Cummings House in the Gold Coast's Carl Sandburg Village, this freshly renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo pairs sweeping skyline views with one of Chicago's most walkable addresses. Inside, wood laminate floors and crown molding run through a bright, open living and dining area set beneath a wall of windows - imagine watching the city light up from your sofa every evening. A 2026 renovation reset the kitchen and bath. The kitchen anchors the space with quartz countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and a peninsula with breakfast-bar seating, backed by a brand-new GE stainless steel appliance package - refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and microwave - with room left for a proper dining table. The generously scaled bedroom is tucked off its own hall, next to the updated bath finished in porcelain tile with an engineered marble countertop and a solid wood vanity. Cummings House is a full-service building with door staff, security, on-site management and engineering, elevators plus a service elevator, a bike room, party room, sundeck, and pool, surrounded by the community gardens and landscaped terraces that thread through Sandburg Village. Monthly assessments cover heat, water, doorman, TV/cable, internet, and Wi-Fi, plus exterior maintenance and trash removal - translation: most of the monthly bills are handled before you've unpacked. A first-floor storage unit is included, on-site laundry is steps away, and heated garage parking is available through the building. Out the front door on Schiller Street, you're a short walk to the Clark/Division Red Line and the Sedgwick Brown Line, with the 22, 36, 151, and 156 buses close by, Potash Markets and Jewel-Osco for groceries, and Old Town's Wells Street restaurants, Lincoln Park, and North Avenue Beach all within reach. The unit sits in the Ogden International School of the Americas (K-8) and Lincoln Park High School attendance areas - a perfect blend of skyline living and everyday neighborhood ease.
