About This Home

As of April 2025

Vintage feels yet completely Modernized, this top floor condo in prime Andersonville does not disappoint. Very bright and airy, the open concept great room with dining area and updated kitchen with a second living room and additional flex/office/sunroom space create an awesome blend of new and old. All hardwood throughout, wood burning fireplace, bay windows and all brick exterior is the old Andersonville vibes we all love. With central heat and air, in unit laundry, tons of storage, updated kitchen and remodeled bathroom, patio and deeded parking; the home offers all the things we come to hope for your future home. Just steps from Andersonville's center on Clark S, grocery, dive bars and high-end dining and everywhere in between, coffee, nightlife and shopping and a quick walk to El, it's a commuters dream location. If the lake calls to you but high rise life isn't your thing, this is a great alternative with low hoas, a healthy association, and an easy walk to the lake.
