Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from January 05, 2022
Multiple Offers received. Highest and Best due Thursday, Dec 9 by 5pm. Original owners loved living here but it's time for a new owner to enjoy the tree top views from this townhouse style condo. Several of the rooms have been virtually staged to enable the new owner to envision a blend of 70's fab and 21st century comfort. Open living space with circular flow on the first level offers many opportunities to put your interior design dreams in place. Gas fireplace with faux stone is a focal point but could easily be transformed to a more contemporary style. No hardwood under carpet throughout. Galley kitchen could be updated with white cabinetry while the breakfast eating area offers more lovely tree top views. The second floor has a spacious family room/den loft space which is the same size as the second bedroom in similar size units in the building. This room is virtually staged to show it as the go to hang out space. The east end of this room has custom built-ins, creating the perfect option for a home office set-up. The primary bedroom also has custom built-ins; imagine, perhaps, these painted white to give the room a new look. TWO walk-in closets are unique to this unit, never fear not having enough room for all your favorite things. There is in-unit laundry in the hall bathroom. Enjoy the convenience of an exterior parking space. Pets are welcome, both cats and dogs. Trains, shops, restaurants, and lakefront all within blocks. Location says it all. AS IS but unit has been well maintained.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe've been so happy with ETHS. Coming from a small middle school we were wondering how the transition to be a big school would go. It was very smooth. The school does so many events for 8th graders to get them comfortable and is very communicative with parents. There are so many clubs and activities to choose from that all kids really have an opportunity to find a good fit. PE includes a swim unit and they get to swim in the school's very nice pool. At parent-teacher conferences I was so happy with all the staff, they've been so great.Parent Review4mo ago - Check out schools near 860 Forest Ave #B.
