This beautifully renovated unit is located within a historic university complex built in 1918. The building showcases the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 1900s, and that charm is still evident today. In Unit 7, the current owner has made significant efforts to create a space that embodies contemporary design and style. The elegant and sophisticated ambiance is enhanced by numerous updates throughout, ensuring that there is something stunning around every corner. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious drop zone, complete with floating shelves. There are also hookups for a utility sink or wet bar. The kitchen features granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. At the rear, accordion doors open to two additional storage areas, perfect for a pantry and equipped with hookups for the fridge. Below the counter, there is a built-in space for a beverage fridge. The living room is adorned with classic wainscoting, finished in a simple white that complements the herringbone-style floors, beautifully illuminated by numerous windows. The full bathroom features classic trim work, a jet tub, and a tiled surround. Lastly, the primary suite includes a tray ceiling, a cedar closet, and ample space. Outside, you'll have quick access to the newly redesigned university corridor, which is within walking distance of Drake and Waveland. Shops and stores are nearby, and a bus stop makes it easy to navigate the city on foot or by bike.
