Here are The Carlyle condos for sale and rent with their location, building and apartment information. Schedule a showing online.
THE CONDOS
The Carlyle apartments have a condo form of ownership. Floor plans are quite spacious. One bedroom condos have 2,230 square feet of space. Two bedroom condos have 2,700 to 3,380 square feet. Three bedroom condos have 2,950 to 4,600 square feet. Penthouses are on floors 37 to 39.
All units have east, unobstructed views of Lake Michigan, west views and at least one balcony. Cooking appliances are electric.
What’s distinctive about all of the condos is that the master suites all have 2 baths, even the 1 bedrooms! On the floor plans they’re titled “His Bath” and “Her Bath” and many of the listings refer to his and her baths. Since we’ve progressed a bit since the building was built in the mid 1960s perhaps dual master baths would be a more appropriate term.
