Perched on the top floor of a very quiet boutique, all-owner-occupied building, this one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 1-bath residencemarries historic character with modern elegance. Originally built in the late 1800s, the home is set on an oversized corner lot and is flooded with natural light from south, east, and north exposures-a rare luxury in the city. Inside, exposed brick walls, 12-foot ceilings, and a stylish wood-burning fireplace create a warm, art-gallery feel-perfect for showcasing your collection. The open-concept living and dining space flows seamlessly into a chef-inspired kitchen, updated with granite counters, new stainless steel appliances, glass tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and breakfast bar seating. The renovated bath is a retreat in itself, featuring marble and porcelain tile, a walk-in shower, elegant vanity, and chandelier lighting. Both bedrooms are thoughtfully designed: the primary easily accommodates a king bed and offers a full wall of custom-organized closets, while the second bedroom doubles beautifully as a guest room, office, or creative studio. A charming breakfast nook/den opens to a private side deck, fully immersed in leafy treetop views-your own urban escape. Additional highlights include oak hardwood floors, in-unit washer/dryer, private storage, landscaped common yard, and garage parking (included). The location is truly unbeatable. At Southport & Belden, you're steps from beloved neighborhood destinations: Pequod's Pizza, Sweet Mandy B's, Bird's Nest Tavern, artisanal coffee shops, and vibrant local boutiques. Parks and green space-including pickleball courts-are nearby, while Mariano's, cinemas, and convenient transit put daily essentials within minutes. Situated in the highly regarded Oscar Mayer Elementary district, this home offers both lifestyle and long-term value. A rare opportunity to own a home that blends historic Lincoln Park charm with modern sophistication-in one of Chicago's most walkable and desirable pockets. Pet friendly. Rentals allowed.
