The best of Andersonville! Vintage charm exudes from the beauty of the architecture of yesteryear with all the luxuries a complete renovation provides! Located on one of the most beautiful tree-lined streets. Quiet, peaceful, and yet just steps away from the very hottest restaurants and shops in the strolling epicenter of Andersonville! The rejuvenation started with a recent (2006) complete gut rehab of the entire building with all new major plumbing, electrical and roofing systems and reimagined floorplans to suit today's lifestyle. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath vintage charmer is located on a high, raised first-floor that is bathed in natural light! Gorgeous real hardwood floors throughout. Lovingly cared-for and recently updated with fresh new finishes! You'll enjoy a brand-new HVAC system (2026), fresh kitchen updates including new backsplash and fixtures, new recessed lighting throughout, updated electrical switches and new lighting fixtures! Complete fresh paint throughout and newer, high-end washer and dryer in unit! Perfect floorplan with plenty of living space anchored by a gas fireplace and built-ins, adjacent yet separate dining space accommodates a large table! Primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a great closet! The spacious deck is the perfect outdoor space for entertaining or relaxing! Super-responsible HOA with significant Reserves and an extremely well-maintained property. A large, private storage room and secured bike storage in the basement are included. Parking space off alley behind the building via a transferrable lease and the Seller has prepaid the entire year through Aug 2027! In addition, there is the easiest, wide-open, street parking available immediately in front of the building. Located in the highly-rated Chappell and Amundsen School Districts. Convenient transportation options include the newly opened Metra station, the renovated Red-line and LakeShore Drive. Enjoy all the Lakefront has to offer! Welcome home!
