Looking for something tranquil and charming yet just steps away from everything you need? Come stay in our classic Victorian building 2br/1ba apartment with fantastic location in the highly coveted Burley School district. Just 7 mins walk to the Paulina El (Brown line) stop, 5 mins to Whole Foods, 6 min to Ashland bus, and 5 mins to Jewel. Many other neighborhood amenities (gyms, restaurants, shopping, swimming pools, tennis courts) all within a few minutes walking distance. Also an easy walk to both the Southport corridor and Roscoe Village strip. Despite the proximity to transportation and amenities, unit is on a quiet, broad, tree-lined neighborhood side street with very little traffic that is lined with high-end single family homes. Unit boasts a large (125 sq ft), private rear deck overlooking a shady, tree-covered yard and garden filled with birds, butterflies, and fireflies. Has lofty 10+ ft ceilings in every room. At time of move-in unit will have new oak hardwood floors everywhere but kitchen, and all rooms will be freshly painted. (Wood floors and fresh paint are not reflected in the photos - floors in living and dining will be refinished, current carpeting in bedrooms will be replaced with hardwood, and painting executed after current tenants move out.) If not already started, tenant has the opportunity to provide input on desired paint colors. Apartment is the 1st-floor unit (half-story above grade) in a quiet, tranquil, and well-maintained owner-occupied duplex. No absentee landlord or rowdy upstairs neighbors here. We just purchased the building this spring, and are continuing to make improvements in the yard, building exterior, and common areas.
