About This Home

Craving the charm and soul of a vintage home without sacrificing modern style? This gorgeous top-floor 3BR/2BA East Lakeview condo delivers the perfect blend of timeless character, luxury and thoughtfully designed updates while preserving its original vintage details. A gracious foyer welcomes you home and opens into an inviting living room filled with warmth and personality, featuring gorgeous built-in bookcases and a wood-burning fireplace. Throughout the home you'll find rich original woodwork, hardwood floors, classic trim and doors, and lofty 9.5-foot ceilings that enhance its timeless character. The beautifully renovated kitchen is anything but ordinary, featuring crisp white cabinetry, Bosch appliances including a dual-fuel gas/electric range, a custom full-height patinated copper backsplash, solid brass faucet and cabinet hardware. Carrara marble countertops and a matching full-height backsplash create a chef's kitchen that is as beautiful as it is functional. The formal dining room flows effortlessly from the kitchen, making entertaining feel easy and natural. Both bathrooms have been stylishly reimagined with carefully curated finishes. The primary bath features a custom floating vanity with double sinks and under cabinet lighting, sleek glass tile walls, and a striking chevron marble floor. The second bath offers a glass-enclosed shower and timeless marble octagon tile flooring. Every detail has been thoughtfully selected-from the unique lighting fixtures throughout to the charming private balcony just off the kitchen, perfect for morning coffee or summer evenings. Rare tandem parking for two cars, roof rights, large in-unit W/D and a large private storage room make this home as practical as it is beautiful. An unbeatable East Lakeview location in the highly rated Nettlehorst school district and just steps from the lakefront, restaurants, shopping, theaters, nightlife and everything this vibrant neighborhood has to offer.
