657 W Cornelia Avenue #1

Tranquility describes this spacious 2 bed, 1 bath condo nestled on a quiet one way, tree lined street in the heart of Chicago's East Lakeview Neighborhood. In true rehabbed vintage fashion, you will fall in love with the front living space - a beautiful den with large wrap around bay windows custom outfitted with white plantation shutters, a classic brick gas burning fireplace, and custom built shelving and storage that surrounds. The den would be the perfect opportunity for those working from home or a plant connoisseurs dream. Two bedrooms separate the living space from the dining and kitchen areas. A king size bed fits in the ensuite, primary bedroom with room for additional furniture, while a queen bed easily fits within the secondary bedroom. The main bath is dressed in brands such as Kohler, Spa Bath, and Toto. Down the hallway is the second living / dining space that is open to a beautiful kitchen. One of the best aspects of this home is the ease and flexibility it allows with the livability for its residents. One can entertain with an eight person dining table or make the space a second informal family room. The kitchen features 42 inch maple cabinets, dappled granite countertops, and GE profile stainless steel appliances plus a two tiered high counter that fits three to four bar stools. In unit laundry and a built in pantry complete the kitchen's functionality. The small details of canned lighting throughout and all closets outfitted with Alfa closets just add to the home feeling that you will crave. Off the kitchen is a large fenced in back deck that belongs solely to the unit, yet has stairs leading down to the landscaped communal yard. This hidden treasure has benches and firepits - the perfect escape from the city all by walking outside your house. On the flipside, by walking out the front door of the building, you enter into Lakeview! Situated between Broadway and Halsted, you have access to everything you would ever need. Restaurants, shops, grocery stores and cultural activities flank these streets. Three blocks east of this home is the access point to the lake and its path, while three blocks west is the Addison Redline stop that runs all night long and gives you access to the whole city. 657-659 W Cornelia is an intimate, vintage six unit building that was converted to condos in 2007. It is currently self managed and run extremely well. Rentals are allowed, and it was previously rented for $2300 a month. Parking is available in the neighborhood and the streets are permitted.
