Home Details for 5125 N Winthrop Avenue 1F

This gorgeous, sun-drenched condo is a vintage lover's dream. Located next to a park, this spacious home is light-filled, airy and boasts with 10ft tall ceilings with an open floorplan. Featuring period woodwork throughout, a lovely decorative fireplace with bookcases, and the original mosaic tile floor in the sitting/sunroom plus custom built-in bookshelves for extra storage or display space in the office/library/sitting room. The clever distribution and demarcation of areas allow for flexible use as dining room, living room, and office and is a great space for entertaining guests or unwinding with a book. The kitchen is equipped with white cabinets, a tile backsplash, and a new Bosch dishwasher (2021) and KitchenAid range and hood (2021) and has a seating area on the back deck just off it. The bathroom features custom hand painted tile and updated hardware. The large primary bedroom has the original built-in dresser and good closet space. A built-in window AC unit (2024) comfortably cools the living and dining rooms, and the unit is equipped with vents to have AC filtered throughout should the new owner wish to install a new HVAC system in the walk-in closet off the entryway. There is lots of storage, both inside the unit and out, including a huge coat closet, a walk-in closet in the second bedroom, and a dedicated storage room in the basement. Also in the basement is the building's free laundry room and storage for bikes. If you need a place for your car, great! It comes with deeded garage parking. On top of it all, you don't have to limit your green thumb to houseplants if you live here as there's a beautiful yard with a bevy of perennials plus a south-facing raised bed garden for growing veggies. It's perfectly located for commuting, with the red line one block away and the Sheridan express bus to downtown two blocks down Foster. It's also short walking distance to the lake/beach/bike path, one block to two grocery stores (Mariano's and Jewel) and an easy walk to all the restaurants, shops, and great venues in Andersonville and Uptown. The building is pet friendly, owner-occupied only, and has a well-run association with ample reserves and no upcoming specials or big projects. It's a special one--don't miss it.
