Perched on the bank of the Chicago River, this high first floor walk-up condo is a true delight. The sunny, west-facing living room overlooks the lush common yard and river area beyond. This warm and welcoming room provides space for both relaxing and dining. Off the living area, a well-appointed kitchen includes stone countertops, dishwasher, and brand new stove and microwave. The primary bedroom faces east and offers ample closet space. The second bedroom, with its view of the riverbank, makes for a soothing office or guest space. One spacious bathroom, in-unit laundry, and central air conditioning round out the interior of this freshly painted, comfortable vintage home. Exterior features include dedicated back deck space for lounging and an assigned storage unit in the basement. Ample street parking nearby on Montrose and Pensacola. Enjoy living across the bridge from Horner Park with its farmers market, walking paths, pickle ball league, and dog friendly area. Close to Waters Elementary, Rockwell Brown Line Stop, Sulzer Library, and the fun shops of Lincoln Square. Welcome to your home with a nature view!
