Natural light even fills the bathroom! Additional highlights include fantastic natural light throughout, custom built-ins, extra assigned storage, and two parking spaces-one garage spot and one exterior pad, a rare find in this area. Located near public transit, Belmont Harbor, the lakefront, schools (including Nettelhorst Elementary), and endless city conveniences. Low assessments in a well-maintained building.
