About This Home
As of May 2026Welcome to 1244 W. Cornelia Ave unit 2 -where style, location, and energy collide in the heart of Lakeview's coveted Southport Corridor. This sun-drenched, extra-wide, all brick residence sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from some of Chicago's best dining, nightlife, and boutique shopping. Morning coffee at Dollop Coffee Co., dinner at Coda di Volpe, drinks at Tuco and Blondie-all within a few blocks, not to mention close enough to Wrigley to sneak in a few innings in between work calls! And when it's time to get anywhere else in the city, the nearby CTA Brown Line makes commuting effortless. Inside, the home delivers a clean, modern aesthetic with Brazilian Cherry floors and an open-concept layout built for both entertaining and everyday living. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a massive island and outfitted with high-end Sub-Zero, Viking, and Bosch appliances-because takeout is optional, not required. The living space is expansive and filled with natural light thanks to its southern exposure, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and a full wet bar that practically guarantees you'll be hosting. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, featuring a large walk-in closet, two additional closets (yes, really), and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, steam shower, and dual vanities. Add in in-unit laundry, a private terrace for summer nights, and garage parking (a true Chicago luxury), and you've got the full package. Set within the highly sought-after Blaine Elementary district and surrounded by one of the city's most vibrant social scenes, this is the kind of home that doesn't just check boxes-it upgrades your lifestyle.
