About This Home
As of October 2025Set on the second floor of a classic three-story, six-unit greystone on a quiet one-way street, this 2 bed/2 bath home pairs historic character with smart functionality. The bright living room showcases high ceilings, oak floors, and a wood-burning fireplace; an octagonal turret alcove with windows flexes as a dining area, office nook, or reading spot, while a separate hallway cove near the kitchen/bedrooms offers a second option for dining or a desk. The kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a glass tile backsplash, and ample cabinetry. Bedrooms are generously sized with custom storage, including a large walk-in closet in the primary. Two full baths include one with a walk-in shower and double vanity, and another with a tub/shower combo. A large private deck with leafy views extends the living space; in-unit laundry, storage off the deck, and a deeded parking space behind the building add everyday convenience. Close to Broadway, Halsted, and Belmont, and just one block from Belmont Harbor with easy access to the lakefront and Lakeshore Path.
