Property Description

This gorgeous vintage unit has seen tons of updates since 2023! From the moment you enter and see the beautiful marble stairs and mahogany trim in the building's entryway, you know something special awaits. The spacious foyer in the unit leads to an oversized living room with built-in shelves. The dining room is a true gem, featuring an original buffet, which has recently been restored to its original wood finishes, spans the length of the room, and is topped by a stunning stained glass window. Beamed ceilings and a plate rail add to the room's historic charm. The kitchen has been updated with new wood cabinets, quartz backsplash, and countertops, and it opens to the dining room with a pass-through/breakfast bar. You will find refinished oak hardwood floors run throughout the home. The walls were sanded and repainted for a clean and modern finish. Recent updates include a new washer, dryer, dishwasher, new windows, and a riser project and balcony project were recently completed for the building. In the basement you will find another washer and dryer designated specifically for unit 2. Enjoy a covered and screened porch just off the kitchen. The building has parking which they rotate bi-annually based on demand, owners have successfully maintained parking as needed for a small monthly fee (~$50). Just steps from the lake, parks, shopping, the Museum of Science and Industry, and public transportation, with easy access to the University of Chicago schools and hospitals.
