Inside $1,375,000 hardcore concrete Chicago loft | Andrei Savtchenko Real Estate Chicago

[@nomanomen4611]

Beautiful, just my thing. Unfortunately, the beautiful brick walls and concrete parts are a nightmare to heat in winter. As a resident of Munich with even -4F in winter 🥶

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

Wow I didn’t know that 😊

[@maelstrom254]

Especially now, when no cheap gas anymore. 😁

[@edwardv4546]

I was thinking about that. I’m like this space is so airy it must be a nightmare to keep it warm or cold

[@angelm3670]

Chicago gets -20 F in winter hahaah

[@Mr.Plant1994]

Ya you except your apartment will be kept at like 50 when you live in places like that.

[@randolphsanchez5418]

Hi! Chicago is actually an option for me as I am moving soon for work and this property is right within my budget. I was looking at a property half the size for 1.4MM in Downtown Brooklyn!!! NYC market is insane right now.

[@andreisavtchenko]

Nice. Reach out when you’re ready to start looking! Yes, you get way more in Chicago 🔥😊

[@AllThingsSicily]

Absolutely love it! I think all it needs is an appliance upgrade. The rest is perfect!

[@OliverTree.]

⬆️⬆️

[@kverreet]

Appliance upgrade? What else would you want then? Granted it might not all be top of the line but you aren't going to get that for 1.4 combined with so much space in a large city, sad as that may be.

[@PWingert1966]

Kitchen is great for buffet catering for parties. staff on one side filling and prepping and guests on the other taking and eating! Love this idea.

[@activelow9297]

The old west loop toxic waste factory! They did a great job with it.

[@williamsauve6058]

Great video my friend. Very cool loft . Just WOW all of it. The Space in every room is so generous. That Kitchen is spectacular. Oh ya the yoga is working. Love from Canada

[@kevinlessard5081]

I used to live in something like the bargain bin version of this in Wellington, NZ (old paper factory north of the stadium). It was an awesome spot, but the owner had done it all up in gaudy colours, destroying the natural industrial charm, unfortunately. I say all of that to say that outdoor spaces like the one off the loft seem awesome, but rarely get used in my experience. It’s too far from the kitchen to eat or have cocktails out there and it’s inconvenient to have to trapse through the guest bedroom/office/whatever for sunbathing or yoga or outside reading. I always found it more pleasant to do that kind of stuff in the park anyway. I still regret not figuring out what to do with that space because it seems like there should be an answer…

[@kevinlessard5081]

P.S. Love your videos… not really in the market myself but they are very well done and hopefully drumming up some business for you.

[@PWingert1966]

Your point about the outdoor space is true. But I have seen a kitchenette with sink, hot/cold water, a counter and rom for an espresso machine and a toaster oven and under counter bar fridge. It was installed just inside the door to the outside space that fixes the issue perfectly.

[@edwardv4546]

Plus it’s freezing in Chicago so you’re not going to get a ton of use out of it anyway

[@PWingert1966]

The extended power bar in the laundry room is an interesting idea. Great if you have a scooter, two wheeler or other large items that need charging. Using the same power strip in the laundry and the pantry keeps the industrial aesthetic throughout the property.

[@deanthompson4381]

Thank you, Andrei, for showing us the loft. So many questions, one would be, How does the owner keep this space clean? That would be a chore for an army. This is an excellent use of the space. The views are excellent from the second outdoor space, the way it is decorated was perfect. HVAC would be another issue, Chicago in the winter, is not fun. Best wishes to you and the new owner.

Great place. I like the solidness of the building and the lofts. Love the openness and space to really create some great room design. Need that long kitchen table in my place,😉. Great views from the balcony. That catwalk is a great idea. Could make a office out of the upper area. Rooftop would be perfect for entertainment. Perfect for the person who can afford it🤣. Great presentation my friend!!

[@Milofchg]

I use to go to a few Rave parties in that building in the early 90’s before that area was RE-developed.

[@LUIS-ox1bv]

Went to a lot of after hours parties in this area during the 90s.

[@user-wo7dl6tb2q]

@Milofchg I also went to tons of Chicago raves from ‘93-97, however I barely remember the locations due to the wonderful acid & shrooms! I remember some party names & I still have a ton of flyers & about 60 mixtapes: Hyperactive, Derick Carter, Mystic Bill, Roy Davis Jr, Justin Long, DJ Tron, Paul Johnson, Boo Williams to name a few! What parties were at this building?

[@Milofchg]

@@user-wo7dl6tb2q Yes, LOL lots of (E) X, LSD, Shrooms back then. Great times for sure. At this location I remember a few parties, but they were not Rave parties. At this building they hosted more underground House afterhours events. Spencer Kinney, Darryl Woodson, Lego, Miles Maeda, Mark Farina, D Carter or some of the friends/staff from Gramophone Records. Once Shelter's last call we would end up here or places like this all the time. I do know Incredibeets used that as a backup for a raid once. There was another loft not far from there that was used for parties. That place was on Randolph and Green street behind a teen club called Alcatrazz. Fast Eddie's friend leased that loft for parties.

[@aaaapple803]

big house, no need to stroll in the park

[@beckpack2400]

this loft is best suitable for a working couple who likes to have guests every week

[@OsmarMty]

Yeah, as the guy and you said, it's more of a party people space, the first floor alone you could have a nice gathering, the catwalk thing it's great for saying something as the host. The second level you could remove the bed and have a big space for doing art or anything really. If you have kids or somebody will take the second bed upstairs there is 0 privacy, only in the main bedroom so that really tells you eveything there's to know. It's alright if you need or really really want to live in the center of the Chi

Love the layout but again........a cold and uninviting space with a very neutral color (if you want to call it that) scheme. Where is the imagination from the interior designer for this space? I understand the concept of industrial but to me, this another one of spaces that you show which are cold and uninviting.
