2 Bedroom Apartment in One Bennett Park, Chicago

Some homes ask you to slow down and just take a deep breath the moment you step inside. This two bedroom apartment in One Bennett Park, right in the middle of Chicago, is one of those. There is something a bit special about standing in that entrance with marble floors under your feet and those big crystal lights above. You notice right away how the high ceiling opens up the whole place, almost as if it was made to help you leave the city rush at the door.

Standing here, you see how close you are to all the action of Chicago, but you also get this long stretch of park right under your windows. Some evenings you can just stand there and watch the sun go down or see people walking their dogs through the trees. The floor to ceiling windows wrap most of the space so no matter where you're standing you really do get a good view of the skyline or the quiet green below. Morning light just pours in here and there's this subtle hum from the city outside that makes you feel both connected and away at the same time.

Inside you have just over nineteen hundred square feet that never feels crowded. I kept picturing where I'd put my own stuff because honestly the open living and dining area just feels right whether you keep it simple or you want to have your friends round for something special. It really is one of those rooms where it's just as easy to stretch out with a book as it is to watch a film or catch up with people over dinner.

The kitchen is a bit of a surprise—real marble countertops that actually feel cool when you touch them and a breakfast bar that just seems to draw everyone in. I noticed that even though you have shiny stainless steel appliances, it doesn't feel too cold or done up for show. There's a lot of light wood and easy finishes so you could actually picture yourself here cooking something up or just talking over coffee in the morning. I think if you like cooking (or even if you just pretend to) there's enough space here to do it for real.

The bedrooms here are set further away from the living space so you can get some quiet even with the city still moving outside. The master bedroom has this walk in closet that's big enough so you're not bumping into each other and a double vanity so you don't have to both fight for space getting ready in the morning. There's a bath set in marble that honestly just makes you want to take it slow after a long day. The second bedroom is almost its own little escape with an en suite and more than enough room for guests or maybe even a proper home office if you want a little quiet to work. There's more storage here than you might expect, with a hallway closet and a laundry and utility room that sort of fades into the background until you need it.

Down in the lobby, you get this interesting mix of people—young families pushing prams, older couples heading out for the day, everyone just seems relaxed and at home. On the third floor I came across a full spa, fitness center and an indoor lap pool that actually gets some sunlight in the afternoons. The sun terrace is this peaceful spot where someone's almost always reading or just taking it easy. The rooftop really stands out to me though because the view just keeps going and every so often you'll see people grilling or just letting the kids run around while parents chat with a coffee in hand.

What really makes this place feel right is the location. Bennett Park is right out front so you can pop out for a quick walk or take the dog early in the morning. There are coffee shops nearby and the neighborhood itself feels lived in and welcoming. Even though you're close to everything in Chicago it never really feels too much or too crowded.

It's honestly hard to describe every little thing you'll notice, because so much about this apartment is about how you feel when you stand in it.
