Ideally situated on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Aldine Avenue in sought-after East Lakeview, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is located in Cortina Court, a beautifully landscaped vintage courtyard building. The property is less than a mile from both the Belmont Red and Brown Line stations and just half a block from the lakefront, with easy access to parks, trails, dining, shopping, Lake Shore Drive, Broadway, and multiple bus lines. The home blends classic vintage character with thoughtful modern updates. Original refinished hardwood floors, extensive molding, and unique cut-glass doorknobs highlight the architecture, while an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances provides everyday functionality. Recent improvements include a KitchenAid dishwasher (2024) and a Samsung French-door refrigerator. The spacious living room features a gas fireplace and peaceful courtyard views. The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet and generous proportions. Custom Hunter Douglas window treatments were installed in 2025, including EverWood alternative wood blinds at the kitchen deck door, Applause honeycomb shades in the primary bedroom, and custom screen shades in both bathrooms. Three Frigidaire Wi-Fi-enabled window air-conditioning units were added in 2025 for efficient, room-by-room climate control. A dedicated laundry room includes a side-by-side washer and dryer, utility sink, and cabinetry. The home also includes a separate storage unit and a rare outdoor terrace just off the kitchen, shared with the neighboring unit. The deck railing was recently replaced. The building is well maintained with no special assessments, and indoor parking options are available nearby.
