Gray, it is today, as the mercury urges itself beyond freeze point. Rain drops danced through the night and convinced what little snow remained to dissipate and evacuate. And so the roadways shimmer and the ground is cushioned by puddles and pools.

Busy, it is as well. Since the new year the business of Chicago real estate has been downright vibrant. The phone buzzes and emails come in and the docket is relatively full.

Showings. Contracts. Inspections. Walk-throughs. For all variety of Chicago real estate.

Oh, and listings. The team at The Real Estate Lounge Chicago is chock full of listings.

One such listing is the type of loft I envision in New York. And yet it is here in Chicago in Bucktown. Situated in the Manchester Lofts at 2035 w charleston, unit 303 is a soaring dwelling with windows the size of cars, filling the home's soaring space with ample natural light even on a day gray as this.

I will be here today from noon until 2p, amid the timber pillars and struts, standing more than six feet tall but being nowhere near the ceiling, surrounded by tasteful finishes that comprise a home of elegance and distinction.

That this Chicago home has two bedrooms and two baths is but a piece of the narrative. That it has a flowing floorplan with a great room with a distinctive fireplace, a separate dining room that urges entertaining, that the living room is sizable and commodious, that the kitchen is superbly realized in components, cabinetry and what it implies for cuisine concocting is the larger piece to consider.

And that the space is dramatically accented by exposed brick with magnificent shutters upon the bedroom windows as well as the master bath elementally adds to the symphony.

A discerning buyer may arrive today to recognize his or her new home. Perhaps it will be you?

I will show 2035 charleston . 303 from noon until 2 today. Reach me at 773.848.9241.
