The apartment is approximately 740 sq ft and gets a ton of natural light, with 18-foot ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors, modern finishes, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, in-unit washer/dryer, and central heat and air.
The location is hard to beat: one block from Halsted and about a seven-minute walk to the Belmont Red/Brown/Purple Line station, with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, groceries, gyms, the lakefront, and Wrigley Field all nearby.
