About This Home
As of May 2022On a quaint tree-lined street in Chicago's beloved Buena Park neighborhood, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom vintage top-floor condo is sure to steal your heart. Upon entering the foyer, you'll admire the 8.5-foot ceilings, impeccably maintained hardwood flooring throughout, & sheer size of this home. The first thing you'll note is the double entry closet with wood-paneled doors & plenty of extra storage space for coats, cleaning supplies, you name it. After the foyer, there is an additional nook - perfect for a buffet table - ornamented by an antique floral pendant light. Next, you will take in the massive open living space with room for a sectional couch & extra seating. The separate dining space is completed by built-in shelves (you can display your finest dishware!) as well as 3 north-facing windows to let in natural light all day long. Wander through the kitchen, which was recently refreshed with on-trend black hardware to match the black granite countertops throughout. White cabinets line the walls with floor-to-ceiling storage (there are even 2 pantry cabinets). Plus, you will love the on-trend backsplash & luxe stainless steel appliances. As for the bedrooms, each has ample privacy thanks to this home's split floor plan. The rear bedroom is large enough to fit a king-sized bed, dresser, & even a desk for working from home! It also has a walk-in closet with north & east-facing windows. The second bedroom is large enough to fit a queen-sized bed with a large closet & east-facing windows. Lastly, you'll take in the full bathroom, complete with a soaking tub & extra storage space in the vanity. Completing this unit is the side-by-side in-unit washer & dryer, 2 additional hallway closets, a shared patio off of the back door overlooking the luscious backyard (also shared with your neighbors!), & a huge storage closet in the basement (10x5). This well-run all-brick vintage building is close to everything: restaurants (try The Reservoir or El Mariachi), bars (Bar on Buena is rightfully close), coffee shops (Dollop is around the corner!), grocery stores, & transportation (walk to the red line). Oh, & access to the lakefront is right at the end of your block - a dream! Welcome home.
