About This Home
As of September 2024Beautiful, recently renovated (2023) condo just two blocks from Lake Michigan and Clark Square. Feel those lake breezes! Also conveniently located to Main/Chicago Street shopping and restaurants. This gem of a condo was reconfigured just last year by eliminating the smaller third bedroom and giving the space to the kitchen and bathroom to make it a much more liveable unit. It boasts a brand new, expanded and on-trend kitchen with breakfast bar and a long hallway of updated pantry space. So great! Also new in 2023 are the two bathrooms, which are also on-trend. The space is wonderful and the feel of the unit encompasses the character of yesteryear and the conveniences and style of today. This home has in-unit laundry and new windows throughout the building have been recently replaced; also new lighting fixtures throughout and freshly painted. You truly will fall in love with this spot - the unit itself and the fabulous location and walkability to groceries, restaurants, shopping, Metra and "El" as well as the walkability to the beauty of Lake Michigan. So easy to call this one "home".
