About this home
Sundrenched and charming, this oversized top-floor condo exudes vintage appeal. Set on an expansive 28.5-foot-wide lot in a rowhome style, this unique corner unit maximizes its interior space with two oversized bays built lot line to lot line. With 11 windows capturing abundant sunlight, primarily from the South and East exposures, this home is a true gem. The property is a standout within a set of Italianate-style homes, featuring a smooth brownstone facade, intricate cornice details, and neo-Greco design elements that highlight the craftsmanship throughout. The home is cataloged in the Chicago Landmarks Historical Survey for its significant architectural features. The unit begins with a private staircase leading to the top floor, where its ultra-wide layout shines. A spacious living room and dining room seamlessly flow into an open, entertainer's kitchen, offering stunning corner views from windows overlooking the treetops. The extra-high ceilings further enhance the charm and welcoming atmosphere of the space. Hardwood floors in excellent condition run throughout the condo, complemented by fabulous details such as a perfectly balanced fireplace in the living room. Storage is abundant, with built-out closets in the generously sized bedrooms. A sun-soaked office, which can double as a guest room, adds versatility. The bathroom offers oversized counters, and the convenience of in-unit laundry is included. Central air and forced air heat ensure comfort year-round. One parking space is included in the price, and the building has strong reserves with a fully owner-occupied association and no rental restrictions. Strategically located, the condo is just an 11-minute walk to the Western Blue Line and a 15-minute walk to the Damen Green Line. Immediate access to 24-hour buses on Western and a 2-minute drive to the 290 Expressway make commuting a breeze. The area offers convenient access to Pete's Fresh Market, Walgreens, and an array of restaurants, bars, and pubs. With the West Loop, Greektown, Little Italy, and West Town all nearby, this home provides easy access to the best that Chicago has to offer!
