Property Description

Tucked away on the quiet Ainslie side, this bright, spacious one-bedroom offers peaceful living in a well-maintained masonry building at the crossroads of Lincoln Square and Andersonville. Designed to live larger than its square footage, the home features hardwood floors throughout, an inviting living and dining area with beautiful bay windows, and a spacious bedroom with sunny southern exposure. A rare walk-in closet just outside the bedroom provides exceptional storage while maximizing wall space for flexible furniture placement (there's the feasibility of adding a built-in closet or armoire in the bedroom if desired). The kitchen offers beautiful new Silestone countertops, abundant natural wood cabinetry, and direct access to your private deck-the perfect spot for morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. An updated bathroom, all new thermal windows, in-unit full size stackable laundry, and additional storage bike racks complete this move-in-ready home. Uncovered secured rental parking currently available separately through a 3rd party is a block N on Ashland and Winnemac. Enjoy the best of North Side living with easy access to Andersonville, Lincoln Square, Winnemac Park, the lakefront, the Ravenswood Metra, and nearby CTA trains and buses, making commuting and exploring the city effortlessly.
