About This Home

As of August 2023

Come see this unit in a smaller building/complex set in a very convenient location. Easy access to downtown Skokie with its shops, services and Yellow Line "L" stop, as well as the Morton Grove Metra and the Edens Expressway (94) are all close. Westfield Old Orchard and Village Crossing Shopping Center, Costco, Target, and more are a short drive away. This top floor unit is freshly painted and has elevator or stair access, storage locker and designated exterior parking space, as well as street parking. Set on the front of the building there is a balcony off the west facing living/dining room. Wood floors, open living/dining areas and loads of closet space enhance your lifestyle. The bathroom was updated by the current owner as well as the kitchen counters and backsplash. This unit was occupied by the owner's mother and later rented for a short time. The new buyer must occupy for 4 years before being permitted to rent the unit. Both AC units were serviced for the season. (FYI: Service/emotional support animals are permitted with proper documentation.) Monthly assessment includes heat, water, snow removal, common area insurance, hallway and stairway cleaning, landscaping, etc.
