East Lakeview Gem

$352,500  |  527 W. Surf Street, Unit 3, Chicago, IL 60657

This charming 2-bed/1-bath condo has it all – unspoiled vintage charm, a gorgeous new kitchen, and an East Lakeview location that can’t be beat! Throughout the unit you’ll find the original hardwood floors, distinctive crown moldings, nearly 10-ft ceilings, huge windows and an actual dining room. The completely remodeled kitchen (2021) features tall and plentiful cupboards, a deep farmhouse sink, white granite countertops, and a convenient back door to a nice private deck where you can grill or just sit and chill in the shade. The bathroom has been tastefully updated and there’s even a washer/dryer in the unit (not all units have one). When it’s cold out, you can cozy up to this beautiful working fireplace. On sunny days, you can stare out those big front windows facing leafy Surf St. and pretend you’re living in a treehouse. You are just blocks away from the lakefront to the east, and all the attractions of Broadway, Diversey & Clark to the west. You’re near a Trader Joe’s, Mariano’s and a Walmart. For parking, the current owners rent nearby and there are several garage options. For day care, there are 2 great ones right around the corner. For public transportation, Sheridan, Clark & Diversey buses are all a block or two away, and the Diversey brown line is walkable or a quick trip on the Diversey bus. This lovely landmark building is well-situated and well-maintained. The roof is only 2 years old! There’s laundry and a big bike room in the basement, plus a spacious 8x10 ft storage room just for this unit!
