SPACIOUS 1,000 SQ FT 2-BED IN JEFFERSON PARK - IN-UNIT LAUNDRY + ATTACHED GARAGE PARKING Available August 1, 2026 | $2,000/month A rare find: a full 1,000 square feet of updated living space two blocks from the Jefferson Park Transit Center, with your own washer/dryer and attached garage parking included in the rent. THE SPACE Step into a private entry foyer with a full coat closet, then open into an oversized living and dining room wrapped in a wall of windows, four wide panels running the length of the room, all with fresh white blinds. No carpet anywhere. Both bedrooms are true full-size rooms, each with its own oversized window wall and a double bifold closet with hanging rod, upper shelf, and door-mounted wire organizers already installed. There is a separate linen closet with four fixed shelves in the hall for extra storage, genuinely more closet space than most two-bedrooms this size. KITCHEN Full separate kitchen with a complete appliance package: smooth-top electric range with vented hood, dishwasher, and a large bottom-freezer refrigerator with in-door storage and crisper drawers. Deep double-basin stainless sink, generous run of counter space, and an unusually large amount of cabinetry; full upper and lower banks on two walls plus a drawer stack. Easy-clean tile floor. BATHROOM Bright full bath with an extra-long vanity countertop (plenty of room for two people's things), a three-panel mirrored medicine cabinet, salon-style vanity lighting, brushed nickel fixtures, and a tiled tub/shower with a rainfall showerhead. LAUNDRY, HEATING & COOLING Full-size stacked washer and dryer inside the unit, no sharing, no quarters, no basement trips. Central air conditioning for summer, plus a heat pump and individual baseboard heat units in each room. PARKING & BUILDING Inside garage parking plus off-street parking. Secured building with a locked vestibule entry and interior mailboxes. Quiet, well-kept mid-century courtyard-style building on a residential side street. This is one of the most connected addresses on the Northwest Side. The Milwaukee Avenue corridor right outside is a real neighborhood main street: Weston's Coffee & Tap for morning coffee, the historic Gale Street Inn, Iztatl Cocina Mexicana, Mr. B's Caribbean Grill, Jarasa Kabob, Paterno's Pizza, and Elly's Brunch & Cafe. Green space is everywhere: Jefferson Memorial Park (tennis courts, pool, playground, fieldhouse, a seasonal farmers market, and the annual Jeff Fest) is three blocks away, with Wilson Park's splash pad and Roberts Square Park also nearby. Jefferson Park is the part of Chicago where you get room to breathe without giving up the city quiet residential streets, a strong neighborhood feel, and the best transit access in town.
