Tucked into a charming vintage courtyard elevator building just steps from Lake Michigan, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath Edgewater condo offers classic character and an easy, light-filled lifestyle. The sun-drenched, south-facing living room glows throughout the day, creating a warm and welcoming space for morning coffee, quiet evenings, and effortless entertaining. Three comfortable bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, work-from-home, or restful retreats, while two full baths add everyday ease. The kitchen features ample cabinetry and opens to a private back deck-perfect for grilling after a day at the beach or unwinding on summer nights. Timeless vintage details, a thoughtful layout, and an unbeatable location near the lakefront, beaches, parks, dining, and transit make this a truly special Edgewater home.
