Stop #3: A southwest-corner two-bedroom on 1720 South Michigan's 27th floor

Unit 2710 in 1720 South Michigan, 1720 S Michigan Ave, Chicago

The upward spiral continues! I started my tour of 1720 South Michigan on the northeast corner of the tower’s third floor, then made my way seven stories up to the building’s northwest corner. My third stop was up another 17 levels, on 1720’s 27th floor, where an open two-bedroom / two-bath model was unlocked and waiting for me on the building’s southwestern end.

This particular floor plan, used on the ninth through 32nd floors, has 1,100 square feet of total floor space, according to the development’s Web site. This actually comes out to around 1,044 square feet of indoor space, plus a 6-7″ x 8-8″ balcony off the living / dining area.

Yesterday, reader SheridanB wondered where a person would store linens or a vacuum cleaner in one of 1720’s northwest-corner homes. In the case of this unit, they’d either have to store those things in the lone hallway wall closet, or choose to have the “computer alcove” near the entryway partitioned off as a second wall closet. I’m not a fan of the computer alcove — you put an office in a hallway, and soon you’re tripping over your desk chair on your way to or from the front door — so unless I had a kid or a roommate, I’d probably opt for the latter and use the second bedroom as my office. (That would also give me the option of using the office wall closet for even more storage.)

According to the latest price sheet from CMK, this unit is priced in the $330s. Assessments, covering gas, air, water, and a 24-hour door staff, come out to about $356 per month.

One more to go — check back tomorrow for my final stop, and later on down the line for a video version of this tour.
