My name is Mert. I'm a professor at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and Kellogg School of Management. This is the Chicago apartment where I wrote my first book, and it's one of the most creatively charged spaces I've ever lived in. I'm making it available and would love to share it with the right person. The unit sits high above the city with sweeping views of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light throughout the day. You have direct access to Lake Shore Drive and the lakefront bike path, and I have a Cannondale bike here you're welcome to use. The apartment is fully furnished and thoughtfully set up for someone who creates, thinks, and lives intentionally. There's a large live-edge wood desk built for deep work, surrounded by walls of books I've read over the years. If you fall in love with one, you're welcome to read it. If you'd like to keep it, please do, on one condition: leave an equal number of books behind. Take three, leave three. Honor system. What's Included 1 bedroom with a large open closet and city and lake views, a full bathroom with glass shower enclosure, a fully equipped kitchen with professional utensils, espresso machine, updated oven, fridge, open kitchen with butcher block island and bar seating, sectional sofa, chess set, over 500 books across fiction, business, design, and more, guitar and bass (please treat with care), and a bike for lakefront use. AC, Amenities, Fast WiFi, and monthly cleaning are included. 24/7 Doorman access, mail room, and pool access during the summer. Garage parking available for +$200/mo Who I'm Looking For Someone who will treat this space the way I do, with curiosity and respect. Ideally a creative, a builder, a reader, or someone going through a meaningful chapter of their life. This apartment has a particular energy, and I'd love it to go to someone who feels it and honors it.
