OH for Sunday Feb 15 cancelled. Nestled between two parks on a quiet one-way, tree-lined street just a block from the lake, this charming vintage condo offers timeless character in an intimate six-unit building. A light-filled sunroom overlooks Buttercup Park, creating a serene retreat ideal for morning coffee or a work-from-home setup, while a generous private rear deck extends the living space outdoors. Inside, the home features three sprawling bedrooms and two full baths, complemented by a spacious, separate dining room highlighted by a stunning original stained-glass window and direct access to the rear porch, perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen is a true standout, blending style and functionality with ease. A newly updated laundry room adds convenience, complete with an LG stackable washer and dryer and a built-in folding counter. The location is equally compelling, offering easy access to Lake Shore Drive, and attractions like Foster Beach, Montrose Beach, soccer fields, playgrounds and a dog park just steps away, this cozy home offers easy access to all the neighborhood favorites. Popular local restaurants like Fat Miilk, The Reservoir, Tweet, and Sun Wah BBQ bring a special flair to Friday night! Step out on the town to see a show at the Aragon Ballroom and get a drink after at The Green Mill or get your weekly shopping done at the Mariano's on Foster and Sheridan. A transferable leased parking space is available just across the street on Sheridan, adding everyday ease to this classic, well-suited home.
