About This Home
As of May 2025Beautifully maintained 2BED / 1BATH Condo in the heart of East Lakeview!!! This unit has a little bit of everything: Vintage charm as well as many impressive yet elegant upgrades. Although below grade, this property not a full Garden, and it provides ample natural light, having three exposures. Windows have gorgeous wood framing throughout, with open and tilt-in features, and all operate extremely well. Living Room and Primary Bedroom have bay windows to maximize brightness. Both Bedrooms have newer laminate flooring, while the living area maintains its original Oak H/W floors. Bathroom floor tile freshly grouted, and shower wall tile just sealed. Fresh paint in many areas. Kitchen boasts granite countertops, newer Refrigerator and Dishwasher. Brand new W/D, barely used. Furnace and A/C are older, though completely functional. Vapor barrier behind Bedroom walls with drain tile and sump pump. NO LEAKS anywhere! Nest thermostat included. TV and table/hutch in the Kitchen to stay. Huge 10X5 Storage closet, Cable, lightning-fast Wi-Fi, Receiving Room, and a bike storage space included in the Assessment of 568.72. No Specials planned or levied. HOA has been run brilliantly as of late. Reserve of 800K, with another 300K+ in operating cash. All planned projects are fully budgeted. Pet-friendly. No rental cap! Easy parking options include renting a space from a neighbor across the street at 569 W Surf, or renting a space just across Broadway at SP+ Parking. Living in the charming and historic Commodore building allows walkability to almost anywhere: Public transportation, restaurants, bars, cafes, shopping, and so much more!
