Discover the perfect blend of history, character, and modern living in this exceptional 2-bedroom, 2-bath timber loft, located in one of North Center's most distinctive historic buildings. Originally home to the Selig Polyscope Studios-one of America's earliest motion picture studios-the building has been thoughtfully transformed into unique loft residences while preserving its timeless architectural character. Soaring timber ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors, fireplace and an open floor plan create a warm and inviting living space that opens to a private south-facing balcony. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed bath. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, elevator access, deeded parking, private storage, and updated in the last year: dishwasher, washer, dryer, and water heater. Ideally located near neighborhood restaurants, shopping, parks, and both the Irving Park and Addison Brown Line stations.
