    What's special

    Gorgeous vintage character with a modern appeal in a classic Chicago 1893 Beaux Arts courtyard elevator building! High ceilings, original pocket doors, gleaming stained oak floors and traditional millwork bring vintage charm. Enter through a dedicated foyer to dining area, through to very spacious living room with large airy bay windows bringing in an abundance of natural light and sweeping views looking up and down Broadway with colorful sunsets on the horizon and the lights of Wrigley Field in the distance. Lovely updated kitchen has an abundance of cabinet space, granite countertops, under cabinet lighting and a beautiful natural stone back splash. This home has a large, walk-in laundry room/pantry with a side-by-side washer/dryer setup and plenty of extra storage. Continue into a spacious primary bedroom with large bay windows and an extension of the picturesque views from the living room. Generously sized 2nd bedroom. Spa-like bathroom has a jetted tub, dimmable lights, custom vanity and additional built-in for storage. Incredibly quiet - only 1 shared partial kitchen wall. Unbeatable East Lakeview location in Landmarked Surf-Pine Grove Historic District at the border of Lincoln Park and Lakeview. Steps from Broadway, Clark, Diversey, Belmont, and Halsted walk to fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, boutiques, nightlife, Wrigley Field, Diversey Harbor and lakefront trails. Trader Joes/Whole Foods/Marianos/Walmart/Target and Amazon Locker all walkable. Enjoy the best of the neighborhood year-round including Zoo Lights and ice skating at Wrigley in the Winter and lake/park activities and Cubs games in the Summer--just to name a few! Effortless commuting via LSD and direct access to public transport (36, 22, 151 buses & Brown line). Cable TV included in monthly assessment and private storage unit, bike room and sink room in basement. Investor friendly. Covered, secured, deeded parking for $25,000 and must be sold with the unit. Entire home has been freshly painted and new carpet provided in both bedrooms!
