Discover this true East Lakeview vintage treasure, offering 2 bedrooms plus a den and 1.1 baths, perfectly blending classic charm with modern conveniences-including in-unit laundry. Step into a gracious foyer that opens to a spacious front living room adorned with rounded bay windows and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Just off the living room, the sun-filled den makes an ideal home office or can easily serve as a third bedroom. The hallway leads to an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances complete with double oven that flows seamlessly into a generous dining room with built-in cabinetry and a second wood-burning fireplace-perfect for hosting and entertaining. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated, and the large laundry area offers a stacked washer/dryer plus abundant storage. From the kitchen, step out to a private deck overlooking a serene shared courtyard, complete with tables, a grill, and a pond-your own urban retreat. Situated in a sought-after East Lakeview location, you're just steps from the Lakefront Path, Belmont Harbor, Broadway's vibrant dining and shopping scene, public transportation, and so much more.
