About This Home

542 Michigan Avenue #1

Welcome to easy, breezy lakeside living-just a block from Lake Michigan and steps to the beach, Metra and L stations, plus all the local favorites along Chicago Ave and Main Street. Wake to sunlit mornings and wind down to the amber glow of magic hour in this beautifully updated 2 bed, 2 bath condo in an intimate six-unit 1921 building. Rarely available, this home combines vintage character, beautiful trim/moldings, designer style, and an effortless flow. From the airy front sunroom and living room with built-ins, leaded glass windows and a decorative fireplace to the den/office wrapped in William Morris wallpaper (2024), the abundance of natural light makes this a true plant-lover's paradise. Sophistication and style shine through with designer lighting in 2019 (Rejuvenation, CB2) custom window treatments, gleaming hardwood floors, and thoughtful updates throughout. The peaceful, oversized primary bedroom features custom closets, and the formal dining room is dinner-party ready with classic wainscoting and a built-in bar. The all-white kitchen offers generous quartzite counters, a HUGE walk-in pantry, new SS refrigerator (2025), built-in hutch and updates to inspire culinary delights. Enjoy two full baths, premium in-unit laundry (LG 2019), and a private back deck perfect for morning coffee, alfresco dinners, and dreamy summer nights. Garage rental in back across the alley with transferable agreement along with street parking.
