Description

Less than a block from the lake you'll find this charming 2-bedroom condo in a lovely vintage courtyard building. It's a high 1st floor unit with lots of windows. The spacious living and dining rooms look out onto serene tree-lined one-way Brompton. The bedrooms face west, overlooking the pretty landscaped courtyard, and get wonderful afternoon light. There are original hardwood floors in all rooms, a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace in the living room, crown moldings and other nice vintage details preserved throughout. The laundry room is just a few steps down from the back door in the kitchen. Every room has just been freshly painted in a tasteful light gray. There are good closets in the unit and an additional huge private storage closet just one floor down that is almost big enough to call a room! Plus there's a bike room. You are in the heart of Lake View with all it has to offer - one block from Broadway, two from Halsted. Note that the building does have parking spaces which they hold a lottery for once a year. Currently this unit does not have one but the area is full of garages that could be rented.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from August 02, 2021

    "It’s a heavily dog friendly city, and some owners are extremely responsible and some are not. I would caution any large green space may mean off leash dogs who are either trained very well or not at all"
