About This Home

Welcome home to this beautifully updated 2-bedroom residence in a charming vintage courtyard building in the heart of East Lakeview. This bright and spacious home blends classic Chicago character with thoughtful modern updates. A welcoming foyer opens to an expansive living room featuring oversized bay windows that flood the space with natural light and create the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. The adjacent formal dining room offers generous space for gatherings and flows seamlessly toward the kitchen. The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and the rare convenience of in-unit laundry, along with a rear service entry. Hardwood floors, crown molding, and classic architectural details run throughout the home. The large primary bedroom enjoys excellent natural light from multiple exposures, while the second bedroom provides flexible space for guests, a home office, or den. A well-appointed full bath with soaking tub completes the layout. Located in a well-maintained courtyard building just steps from the lakefront, Belmont Harbor, public transportation, restaurants, and vibrant Lakeview shopping and nightlife.
