Beautifully refinished original hardwood floors throughout. LIGHT, LAYOUT & LAKE BREEZES: Natural light abounds with treetop views and both east and west exposures, providing wonderful cross ventilation and lake breezes from Lake Michigan, just 1/2 block away. A long, wide grand foyer creates an elegant sense of arrival and highlights the excellent split-bedroom floor plan, with the two bedrooms privately separated by the expansive foyer. THE BUILDING: Charming vintage courtyard building features impressive street frontage, mature landscaping and a secure, almost entirely owner-occupied condominium community with only 18 condos in total and 3 courtyard entryways and foyers. Back steps lead conveniently to the on-site laundry room and an ample outdoor area for grilling. An additional 6-panel door, extra-large private assigned storage locker, is in the basement. Very pet-friendly building with a dedicated dog run in the rear-exceptionally convenient for both you and your pets. EXCEPTIONAL BUENA PARK LOCATION: Outstanding location close to dining, nightlife, shopping and Wrigley Field, and less than a block from Lake Michigan, the dog beach and golf course, with the Lake Shore Drive underpass nearby. Just one minute to northbound or southbound Lake Shore Drive access. Walking distance to the Sheridan Red Line station, with Express 146, 148 and 151 buses at your corner. Permit street parking plus ample, guaranteed monthly rental parking available on the same block-ask for details. FINANCIALS: Low taxes and low assessments add to the appeal of this lovely home.
