Sales update: Slim pickings for one-bedrooms with lake views at 1400 Museum Park

The Coldwell Banker agents who handle sales at The Enterprise Companies' various Museum Park properties are good about listing all of their buildings' available units, so I feel safe in saying that buyers in the market for one-bedroom condos with lake views don't have a lot to choose from at 1400 Museum Park these days.

Of the 22 homes Ralph Oliva has listed at the tower, located at 100 E 14th St in the South Loop, only one — unit #2803 — is an east-facing one-bedroom. The 927 square-foot unit, located on the 28th floor, has a 14' x 22-6" living / dining area, an 11' x 11-6" bedroom, a 6-6" x 7' "den," and a 22' x 5' balcony. It's listed in the $410s.

The one thing that stands out to me when I look at this floor plan is that den. It's not the kind of place I'd typically use as a computer alcove, given its size and proximity to the home's lone bathroom. How would you use a space like that?

The balcony is accessible only through the living / dining area. That's typical for a lot of units I see, but I prefer the approach at 1720 South Michigan, where residents in certain one-bedrooms can walk out from their living areas and bedrooms. It's a wide space, nevertheless.

Similar units on the eighth and 14th floor are available as resales (both are priced in the $340s) and one on the 11th floor is renting for $1,600 a month.

Other remaining east-facing units in Enterprise's unsold inventory include:

• One 1,684 square-foot three-bedroom / two-bath priced in the $710s
• Seven 1667 square-foot three-bedroom / two-baths priced from the $620s to the $690s
• One 1,358 square-foot two-bedroom / two-bath priced in the $540s

The rest of the developer's homes are on the west side of the building. They include:

• One 1,386 square-foot two-bedroom / two-bath priced in the $590s
• One 1,387 square-foot two-bedroom / two-bath priced in the $470s
• Six 1,248 square-foot two-bedroom / two-baths priced from the $410s to the $450s
• Four 839 square-foot one-bedroom / one-baths with 839 square feet, priced from the $310s to the $350s

Coldwell Banker agents are also listing two two-bedroom rentals in the building: a 1,358 square-foot unit priced at $2,600 a month, and a 1,248 square-foot unit priced at $2,400.
