Description
Beautiful top-floor greystone in a prime Lakeview location-where timeless charm meets thoughtful modern updates. This sun-filled 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends vintage character with recent renovations, all set on a quiet, tree-lined one-way street just moments from the Wellington Brown/Purple Line, shops, and restaurants. The remodeled kitchen features 42" custom white cabinetry, marble countertops, a large island, and newer stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner stove, pyramid-style range hood, and under-counter wine and beverage fridge. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the integrated family room, creating a true gathering space ideal for entertaining. The bathroom was fully updated in 2019 and offers a marble vanity, modern tile, accent niche, and a deep soaking tub with spa-style showerhead. The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet with built-in organizers, picture frame molding, and a perfect balance of elegance and practicality. The second bedroom offers generous closet space, while the sunroom off the kitchen provides a bonus flex space-great for a second lounge, office, or reading nook. The home features gorgeous original woodwork throughout, including a built-in hutch, 9-foot tall pocket doors, glass transoms, crown molding, and 11-foot coved ceilings with intricate medallions. Natural light floods in from east, south, and west-facing windows, thanks to the top-floor position and only a 2-story building next door. All windows were replaced in 2024, adding comfort and energy efficiency. Additional features include newer light fixtures throughout, new furnace (2016), and roof resurfacing and tuckpointing (2023). Free laundry in the basement (with internal stair access) includes two washers and two dryers, one of each brand new in 2024 and 2025. Two large private storage spaces are included. A shared outdoor green space behind the building offers a serene spot for grilling or relaxing, complete with table and chairs. Located just a short stroll from Wrigley (yet far enough to avoid game-day crowds), Southport Corridor, Lake Michigan, and Wiggly Field Dog Park. You're steps from beloved local spots like Panes Bread Cafe, DMK Burger Bar, Fish Bar, Osmium Coffee, and Vaughan's Pub-plus quick convenience at South Loop Market just 1.5 blocks away. This rare Lakeview gem combines classic craftsmanship with updated functionality, unmatched light, and a layout that lives large. Don't miss your chance to own a true top-floor treasure.
