Description
Located on a highly desirable, well-established block in North Kenwood known for its pride of ownership and active community presence, this home offers convenient access to the lakefront, parks, trails, shopping, dining, and public transit. Stately and exceptionally spacious, this 2-bedroom condominium blends classic vintage character with thoughtful modern updates. The expansive floor plan-rarely found in a two-bedroom residence, offers multiple living areas, including a bonus family room adjacent to the kitchen and dining space, along with a versatile nook off the living room ideal for a home office, reading area, or workout space. Oversized double-pane bay windows and soaring 10-foot ceilings fill the home with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. Recently refinished hardwood floors, updated lighting, and carefully selected improvements enhance the warm, inviting interior. The main living and dining areas provide flexibility for everyday living, entertaining, or work-from-home needs, while a decorative fireplace and east-facing bay windows add timeless character. The open kitchen is designed for both functionality and flow, seamlessly connecting to the dining and family room areas. Features include honed quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, refreshed upper cabinetry, and a water filtration system. Just beyond, a private balcony offers the perfect setting for relaxing, grilling, or enjoying the surrounding cityscape. Both bedrooms are generously sized and feature large bay windows, custom Elfa closet systems, and ample storage. Additional storage throughout the home, along with dedicated basement storage, supports organized and convenient living. Window treatments, including blinds and curtain rods, were added throughout most of the home in 2022. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the home has been thoughtfully maintained with meaningful updates, including a full HVAC system replacement (furnace and air conditioning) in 2025-providing long-term comfort and efficiency. The well-maintained building was modernized during its early-2000s condominium conversion and includes gated, secured parking, with additional street parking readily available. Ideally positioned near the 43rd Street lakefront access point, the home offers convenient access to outdoor recreation, shopping, dining, public transit, Lake Shore Drive, and nearby neighborhood amenities. A rare opportunity to own a spacious, character-rich home with exceptional functionality and modern updates in North Kenwood.
