About this home
Condo · Built 1914 · Historic
Welcome to this beautifully updated top-floor condo in the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast- conveniently located near the lakefront path and Rush Street's dining scene. This home has been remodeled to blend modern updates with vintage charm, featuring all-new windows, hardwood flooring, built-out closets, and more. Smart home features are integrated throughout for added convenience. Once you enter the condo you'll instantly feel like you're "in the trees" , leading you into the spacious, yet cozy living room with a wood burning fireplace. The floor plan is ideal as you'll flow into a large dedicated dining room, and into the kitchen. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen is filled with natural light from a skylight above and showcases Italian white Carrara countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. A second skylight brightens the cozy study, which also opens to a private outdoor balcony-perfect for a morning coffee or evening unwind. The primary bathroom was fully renovated in early 2025 with timeless finishes. A spacious laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer adds everyday functionality. Additional perks include a HUGE private storage room in the basement and easy-access shared bike and stroller storage-no stairs needed. Parking options include permit parking on Elm St and rental spots available at 1 E Scott ($300/month unreserved, $400/month reserved).
