Stroll down Elmwood Avenue from Washington Street to find the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern updates in this bright top floor, end unit condo with open views. The entry lobby with a large stone fireplace is the first sign of charm. Next is the semi-private entry stairwell for just three units which leads up to the third floor landing where a skylight brightens your day and can be home to a plant collection. Enter and the charm continues: large entry foyer with archways, refinished hardwood floors, spacious living room with wall sconces and dining room with bright unobstructed south views is adjacent to the kitchen. The modern updates include: kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, 42" cabinets, Ann Saks tiles, and an additional work area; bathroom with glass block window, reglazed tub, and elegant pedestal sink; in-unit laundry. Split bedroom layout allows for privacy and both bedrooms feature ceiling fans. Primary bedroom has west tree top views while the second bedroom with south views is currently used as a home office. Other highlights include: newer windows, shared back porch - perfect for personalizing with your plants, and large hallway walk-in closet has room for everything. There's plenty of storage throughout this unit and you have a secure storage locker in the basement. Enjoy communing with friends and neighbors on the large, shared courtyard. Bonus: deeded heated garage - only one of five. Pets are welcome. Professionally managed building has newer roof and tankless hot water heater. Main & Chicago business district with EL, Metra & NU Shuttle stops, restaurants, shops, and newsstand - all just two blocks away. The lakefront and beaches are a nice bike ride or walk away.
