About This Home
Welcome to 559 W Aldine, Unit 2, an exceptional Lakeview residence where timeless elegance meets refined modern living. Perfectly situated within the highly sought-after Nettlehorst Elementary District, this beautifully updated condo blends vintage character with thoughtful contemporary enhancements. Sunlight pours through the impressive 31-foot sunroom and office, framed by energy-rated Andersen windows that brighten the home from morning to evening. This inviting space flows naturally into a warm living room centered around an electric fireplace, creating a cozy retreat in the heart of the city. The adjoining room-originally a formal dining space-has been reimagined as a private theatre room, offering an elevated in-home entertainment experience ideal for movie nights, gaming, or hosting friends. The remodeled 19-foot eat-in kitchen provides an abundance of room to cook and gather, featuring granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and classic white cabinetry. Both bathrooms were remodeled approximately six years ago and feature clean, timeless finishes. The en-suite includes a granite vanity, full tub, and separate shower with porcelain and ceramic tile details. The second bath offers a marble vanity, custom shelving, crisp white subway tile, and sleek porcelain flooring-creating a polished, cohesive look throughout the home. Throughout the residence, refinished hardwood floors, new carpeting, fresh paint, and exquisite custom millwork-including 51/2-inch baseboards, corner cornices, crown molding, and solid wood doors with original hardware-highlight the craftsmanship and charm that make this home truly special. Additional updates include a fuse-box expansion with added breakers, updated lighting, a new AC window unit installed in 2024, a new laundry door frame, and custom extra-tall French doors in the bedroom. Andersen windows were installed approximately six years ago as well, offering long-term value and improved energy efficiency.
