Description
High-floor corner unit with sweeping views of East Lakeview and Wrigley Field in one of the neighborhood's most coveted elevator buildings, 555 W. Cornelia. This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spans 1,150 square feet and features a desirable open-concept layout, hardwood floors throughout, and a private balcony with expansive northern exposure, perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The large combined living and dining area easily accommodates a full living room setup along with a formal dining table. The open kitchen features granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining or hosting guests. Recent updates include a newer refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. A private 12' x 6' balcony located just off the living room offers space for a bistro set and grill, making it a true extension of the living space. Both bedrooms are generously sized, able to accommodate a king sized bed, and receive an abundance of natural light through large windows. Each includes a spacious closet, while both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with stylish tile surrounds, modern vanities, and ample storage. Additional upgrades include updated light fixtures in the entryway, dining room, and kitchen, as well as thoughtfully selected wallcovering in the living space, primary bedroom, and bathroom. Monthly assessments include heat, water, cable, high-speed internet, additional storage, and access to all building amenities. Rental garage parking is available on-site for $180/month, and residents enjoy access to a clean, phone-operated laundry room. Recently renovated building amenities include an in-ground outdoor pool, expansive resort-style sundeck with lounge seating, common grilling area, party room, and bike storage. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in East Lakeview just half a block from Belmont Harbor and the lakefront trail, this home offers easy access to Lake Shore Drive and is surrounded by multiple CTA options, including the Red Line and express bus service. Jewel, Whole Foods, and a vibrant mix of restaurants, shops, and nightlife on Broadway, Halsted, and Clark are all just blocks away.
