Set in a boutique elevator building on a quiet East Lakeview street, this bright and inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo offers a rare blend of character, light, and everyday comfort-complete with a deeded garage parking space. The standout living space is defined by three French doors that open to a south-facing balcony while overlooking the tree-lined street. This design element brings in incredible natural light throughout the day and creates an open, airy feel that makes the living room and kitchen feel expansive and connected. The kitchen is designed to gather around, featuring a large center island, full-height cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and stone countertops. It flows easily into both the living and dining areas, giving you flexibility whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in. A wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter adds warmth and charm to the living room, while built-in sound wiring in the living area, primary suite, and bath enhances the home's modern functionality. The entire unit has been recently painted, including a distinctive lime-wash accent wall in the second bedroom that adds texture and a designer touch. The primary suite serves as a comfortable retreat with hardwood floors and a spacious marble bathroom featuring double vanities, a soaking tub, and Kohler fixtures. A separate laundry and utility room provides generous in-unit storage-something not often found at this size. Just half a block from Broadway, the location puts you steps from Mariano's, neighborhood dining, coffee shops, and nightlife, while still enjoying a quieter residential setting. The Belmont CTA station (Red, Brown, and Purple Lines) is just three blocks away, making commuting simple. Lake Michigan, parks, and the lakefront trail are all within easy reach. Pet-friendly and well cared for, the building includes garage parking space #P-7 with the home.
