Nestled in the vibrant heart of Uptown, this freshly painted two-bedroom, two-bath condo effortlessly blends modern updates with timeless charm. Upon entry, an expansive living room welcomes you with its decorative fireplace and generous space for multiple seating areas, plus a cozy nook ideal for working from home. Newer vinyl plank flooring leads seamlessly into the adjacent kitchen, where generous counter space and room for a full dining table make the space perfect for casual meals or entertaining guests. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized to accommodate queen or king beds, with the primary suite featuring a sleek ceiling fan and a private en-suite bathroom adorned with updated contemporary fixtures. The guest bathroom echoes the modern style, with an upgraded vanity and hardware. Storage is a breeze thanks to a spacious hallway closet that keeps seasonal items neatly tucked away. Mechanical systems have been recently refreshed for peace of mind: the water heater was replaced in 2021, the furnace in 2022, and a brand-new AC unit ensures cool comfort all summer long. Daily conveniences include an in-unit washer and dryer, while extra perks like complimentary bike storage and a gated building add value and security. A deeded parking space behind the building features its own dedicated entrance and is included in the sale price. Commuters will appreciate proximity to Sheridan and Lawrence bus routes and El stops at Lawrence and Wilson, just two blocks away. For outdoor enthusiasts, lakefront trails and lush parkland lie a short stroll to the east. Residents can also enjoy the ease of nearby shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and iconic entertainment venues like the Aragon Ballroom and Riviera Theater. Pet-friendly and welcoming up to two animals (including one dog up to 45 pounds), owners are required occupancy for the first 12 months before leasing.
