The bright, open floor plan features a main-level family room and a dedicated dining area-great for everyday living or casual entertaining.

Recessed lighting and updated fixtures throughout provide a fresh look without sacrificing comfort. The first-floor bathroom has been refreshed, and the kitchen and bath benefit from newer plumbing-helping you settle in with confidence. Location-wise, you'll love the convenience. Just a block away, you'll find local staples like Valli Produce, Zentil, Starbucks, and Blink Fitness. Plus, you're only 10 minutes from Lake Michigan and Northwestern University.
