First time available in nearly 30 years, this exceptional top-floor residence occupies the building's premier south-facing tier, offering picturesque treetop views, abundant natural sunlight, and a level of privacy rarely found in East Lakeview. Positioned at the front of the building, the home enjoys unobstructed southern exposure overlooking the charming tree-lined street, while many neighboring units face adjacent buildings. Located just steps from Belmont Harbor, the lakefront, parks, beaches, shopping, dining, and Wrigleyville, this residence seamlessly blends vintage character with thoughtful updates and rare amenities. The spacious living room is flooded with natural light from oversized south-facing windows and is anchored by a functioning wood-burning fireplace-one of only three working fireplaces in the building. The fireplace liner and flue were upgraded in 2020, creating a warm and inviting focal point for entertaining or relaxing at home. New Marvin double-pane windows, also installed in 2020, provide enhanced comfort, efficiency, and quiet enjoyment while beautifully framing the surrounding neighborhood views. The generous floor plan offers a spacious bedroom, oversized bathroom, separate dining area, and well-appointed kitchen, creating an ideal balance of functionality and timeless appeal. Whether enjoying your morning coffee bathed in sunlight or unwinding by the fire on a winter evening, this home offers a warmth and character that is increasingly difficult to find. A truly rare offering, the residence includes roof rights and two deeded parking spaces-one garage space and one exterior space. The sellers prefer to convey both parking spaces with the unit, though the exterior space may be available separately. Residents enjoy the benefits of a secure, well-maintained, self-managed association with healthy reserves, no special assessments, and a proactive approach to building maintenance. Recent capital improvements include a parapet replacement completed in 2022, providing additional peace of mind for future ownership. This secure building features double-door entry, security cameras, and a welcoming residential atmosphere. Commuting is effortless with nearby CTA trains, express buses, and convenient access to Lake Shore Drive and downtown Chicago. The lakefront trail, Belmont Harbor, and some of East Lakeview's finest restaurants, cafes, and entertainment are all just moments from your front door. A rare opportunity to own a sun-filled, top-floor residence in one of East Lakeview's most desirable locations-a home that has been lovingly maintained and cherished for nearly three decades.
