Description

This stunning 2 bedroom, 2 bath home seamlessly blends classic Chicago architecture with modern style. Situated in the heart of the Gold Coast, you'll love living in this boutique 18-unit building on a quiet, tree-lined street, just steps away from Lake Michigan, Michigan Ave and Rush St. This multi-level top-floor unit truly has it all. With light-soaked spaces, thanks to the skylight, and 13" ceilings throughout, the entire home feels expansive and bright. Step into the unit and fall in love with your sleek kitchen with stainless appliances and white quartz countertops with eat-in seating. Just off the kitchen, a spacious dining room with mirrored built-in shelving is the perfect space for hosting and entertaining. The living room is charming from every angle, including the built-in bookcases, bay window, and wood-burning fireplace. A large bedroom with a fireplace and full bathroom complete the first floor, perfect for single-level living or a home office space. Take the curved staircase to your primary suite, which includes a beautiful marble bathroom with a glass-encased shower. On the top floor, enjoy a wet bar that leads to your own private and fenced- in deck with incredible views of the city. Plenty of storage space can be found throughout the home, along with a ground-level storage unit. LOW assessments ($570) and parking available for rent ($313/month) in the adjacent building are both rare bonuses for the Gold Coast. Located in one of the best neighborhoods of Chicago, and walking distance to many popular restaurants, entertainment, and shopping makes this condo a perfect city find.

    "Sometimes crowded on the 151 bus, but they’re pretty frequent. I would leave some extra time. The red line also is super crowded at the clark/division in the morning so leave some extra time. Always better to have more time than not enough when trying to commute from this part of town"
