The truth is, life is best at the top ... floor! This sun-drenched corner, top-floor condo in a vintage building with modern amenities like central AC and in-unit laundry in SE Evanston blocks from the lake lives like a single-family home. Open the doors of the charming Juliette balcony and/or the Bay windows in the open floorplan living room - dining room and take in refreshing lake breezes and serene sunset views. The versatility of the large living space means endless room configurations and the comfort of knowing you won't hear any footsteps above you. Off of the LR and opposite stained glass, is a butler's pantry with ample storage that leads you to the lovely kitchen. Down the hall, the first bedroom is a jewel box that can also be a library, office or study complete with built-in California Closets custom shelving. The second bedroom fits a king-size bed and is currently set up as an office and workout area. The jumbo primary bedroom, where sunrises fill the space, has enough space for a king-size bed, couch and more, so you'll love making this your end-of-day landing pad. The marble ensuite full bath rounds out the unit. Out back is the most inviting fenced shared patio with a grill, table and chairs and couches, and more small sitting areas scattered throughout. Well maintained building with healthy reserves 3 blocks to Lee Street Beach and blocks to the El and Metra. Across the street from Lincoln Elementary and a short walk to Nichols Middle School -- and also to coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries, bookstores, boutiques, grocery shopping (Jewel, Trader Joe's, Binny's and Whole Foods) and more! Ask the listing agent about available parking for rent across the street.
