PERFECT FOR CAT PEOPLE! :) Spacious, bright, and peaceful duplex up -- This is the unicorn you've been looking for! A beautifully maintained, owner-occupied 2-flat that lives like a single-family home! A nature lover's delight with a big, landscaped yard and large covered deck (and even more garden upgrades planned in the coming months!). Unit is recently renovated but with tons of charm and great finishes! Large windows and high ceilings make it feel extra big and bright. Rarely available & VERY cat friendly! (My current tenants told me I really need to emphasize what a perfect place this is for people who love their cats! LOL) * 2 XL bedrooms * 2 full bathrooms (one on each level) * Bonus office space or breakfast nook right off the kitchen with tons of natural light and overlooking the back garden (cats love to watch the birds in the back yard!). * HUGE kitchen with plenty of pantry storage and prep space (perfect for the avid home baker/cook), wall-mounted TV & great stainless-steel appliances (including dishwasher). * In-unit washer/dryer. * Central AC for these increasingly hot Chicago summers, with eco-friendly thermostat. * Lots of closet and storage space (Owner will make space for a couple of bicycles in the garage, too, if you have them). * Secure building in great neighborhood -- it's a wonderful community where neighbors look out for each other and organize regular game nights at local restaurants and neighborhood clean ups if you want to join in. * This building is a perfect place for a tenant who wants home to feel like a peaceful refuge from the stressors of daily life and where privacy is respected but also values having a sense of place with community and good neighbors when it counts :) * Responsive on-site owner who loves the building and is excited to welcome new tenants who will love it just as much! LOCATION/CITY ACCESS/PARKING: * Located in the (literal) heart of Mayfair (if you look on a map the streets form a heart shape!). * Ample, permit-free street parking -- no hassle and no circling the block endlessly looking for a spot if you come home late! (Current tenants have two cars and are almost always parked directly out front within steps of the building; never more than half a block away. Owner has observed the street parking very late at night and early in the morning and there's always a spot within a stone's throw of the front door.) * Easy access to public transportation -- Less than one mile walk to Metra or Blue Line. Or hop on the Lawrence bus at the stop just around the corner (and conveniently located by the Dunkin Donuts if you want to grab a morning coffee!), which takes you to the Kimball Brown Line or continue on to Lincoln Square/Ravenswood/Uptown. * Easy hop onto the Kennedy Expressway I-90/94 for a (hopefully) quick drive downtown (depending on traffic...) or out to O'Hare. * Short walk to Aldi, Jewel, or Walgreens and just a few minute drive or bike to Six Corners (where they're opening a new Pita Inn soon!) * Tons of green space nearby (including Mayfair Park, Gompers Park, North Park Village Nature Center, Rivers Park, Portage Park, Horner Park). If you think the pictures look nice, wait 'til you see it in person! This is a peaceful oasis in the middle of a vibrant neighborhood in the best city in the world! Cats ok (no dogs) -- yard is thoughtfully designed for supervised cat recess time. Security deposit (equal to one month's rent). $350 nonrefundable pet fee (if applicable). $50 application fee. Excellent credit & references required. Average utilities: ~$100/mo gas & ~$106/mo electric 48-hr notice to current tenants before showings. All potential tenants must come to the showing. * Ample, no-permit street parking right out front or within steps of the building (current tenants have two cars and almost always are parked directly in front of the building and never more than half a block away). * Renters responsible for gas/electric/internet/cable. * No smoking/vaping allowed. * Prefer renters looking for initial 18-month lease term, but open to discuss * Security deposit equal to one month's rent * One-time pet fee applicable ($350) - cats only
