About This Home

As of August 2024

If you've been searching for the perfect blend of beloved vintage charm and modern updates all within an amazing building and location, you're in luck! This top floor sun-filled condo is situated in a stately Greystone on an idyllic one-way tree lined street in a wonderful pocket of Lincoln Park. Upon stepping into the home you'll be greeted with dramatic tall ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The large updated kitchen showcases subway tile backsplash, sleek white quartz countertops, newly refinished 42" two-toned slow-close cabinets, newer matching suite of stainless steel appliances, and even a breakfast bar with storage. The two bedrooms are a split layout that have the same gorgeous tall ceilings, sunlight, and continued hardwood floors. You'll also enjoy a fully updated bathroom with dark grey hexagon tile floors, large soaking tub, Jolie shower head, and a new stylish floating vanity. Installed wood shelving for extra storage off the bathroom acts as an aesthetically pleasing linen closet or additional pantry space. This home features dark espresso vintage hardwood floors for extra warmth and character and just the right touches of beautiful antique finishes such a original railings, trim, doors, door knobs, and more! There is new paint throughout (2023), new designer lighting in most rooms (2023/2024), newer windows with custom blinds (2019), new full-sized LG in-unit laundry (2023) with extra space in the closet for a pantry, newer AC and water heater (2021), and a brand new furnace (2024) for peace of mind. There's also a very large secured storage room in the basement with additional communal space for bikes and other personal items so you can keep your home perfectly tidy and organized. To top it all off, a sunny and serene private back deck facing East is a wonderful retreat. Conveniently located within walking distance to all the boutique shops and cafes along Armitage and Halsted with easy access to public transit, but tucked away just enough for quiet comfort. One off street parking spot available for rent from another unit owner starting immediately. Welcome home!
