About This Home

As of August 2021

This huge 1-bedroom-plus, 1-bathroom condominium is found in the heart of the vibrant Lakeview East neighborhood. If location is a top priority, it is hard to beat this one. Right around the corner are numerous CTA bus and EL stations, making transportation to anywhere in the city completely convenient. Living steps from Halsted Street, the Clark Avenue corridor, and mere blocks from Belmont harbor and the lakefront means that exploring restaurants, bars, and boutiques can be accomplished in all directions. Additionally, world-famous Wrigley Field is also only a 20-minute walk away. Inside its courtyard building, located on the leafy side streets, a spacious living area with a separate dining room cooled by central air conditioning invites visitors to stay. A private deck beckons from off the kitchen and the owners have access to a common rooftop deck with city views, while a wood-burning fireplace welcomes inside. The white-motif kitchen features white cabinets, granite countertops, and a stainless steel suite. Hardwood floors are found throughout, and included is in-unit washer and dryer and extra storage.
