This spacious 2-bedroom condo blends timeless charm with modern conveniences. The inviting living room features a stunning original fireplace flanked by built-in shelving and a cozy curved bay window sitting area with peaceful park views. Both bedrooms are generously sized, and the primary suite includes an en-suite bathroom with refreshed tile, abundant built-in storage, and a large mirror that adds depth and light. An elegant dining room flows into the kitchen, which boasts updated stainless steel appliances, crisp white cabinetry, and a fun touch of character with teal countertops and a classic teal-and-white checkered floor. The kitchen also offers space for a breakfast table. Additional highlights include in-unit washer and dryer, radiator heating, and two new wall-mounted AC units. Enjoy a spacious shared backyard with a concrete patio and communal grill-perfect for summer gatherings. The unit also comes with a massive private storage space in the basement. Located in a highly desirable Buena Park location, this home is directly across from Clarendon Community Park with its dog-friendly area, and just steps to the Lakefront Trail, Montrose Beach, Bird Sanctuary, and the Harbor. Commuting is easy with access to the Wilson Red and Purple Lines and Lake Shore Drive Express buses. You're also just minutes from Target, Aldi, Jewel-Osco, and a variety of top-rated restaurants and iconic music venues like the Aragon Ballroom, Riviera Theatre, and Green Mill.
