Property Description

Vintage Charm Meets Modern Upgrades: This delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo in the historic Surf-Pine Grove district of East Lakeview is the ideal place to call home. Upon entering the spacious foyer, you'll instantly feel the inviting warmth that this residence offers. To the left, the living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and three expansive north-facing windows that beautifully frame the surrounding trees. A versatile space adjacent to the living room can serve as a formal dining area, a sitting room, or even a home office. The two generously sized bedrooms are thoughtfully separated by the in-unit laundry and bathroom, providing added privacy. In 2021 the kitchen underwent a complete renovation, showcasing two-toned shaker cabinets, a stylish subway-tiled backsplash, a farmhouse sink, and an eye-catching hexagon tiled floor that will delight any buyer. Nestled within the stunning Surf-Pine Grove historic district, the 1920 building is surrounded by equally remarkable architecture. With the lake, Lincoln Park, public transit, Trader Joe's, Landmark Theaters, and a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops all just a few blocks away, this neighborhood stands out as one of the most sought-after areas in Chicago.
