Welcome to the Chicago Lifestyle, a Lakeview story. Tucked inside a timeless brick walk-up on one of Lakeview's most charming tree-lined blocks, this south-facing studio isn't just a place to live-it's an invitation to savor the city. With sunlight pouring through its oversized windows and a professionally landscaped courtyard just outside, this home lives far larger than its footprint suggests. It's the kind of space that immediately feels like home, blending vintage warmth with a full-scale renovation that was thoughtfully completed in 2018. Step inside and you'll be greeted by beautiful hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and that unmistakable sense of classic Chicago architecture. The living space is open and flexible, easily accommodating sleeping, lounging, and entertaining-all in one elegant footprint. Sunlight dances through the southern exposure all day long, keeping the space bright, warm, and vibrant. The 2018 renovation didn't miss a beat. The designer kitchen is a showstopper, featuring crisp white shaker cabinetry, polished quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and brushed brass hardware that adds the perfect amount of warmth and glam. Whether you're whipping up weeknight pasta or hosting friends for wine and charcuterie, this is the kind of kitchen you want to cook in-and be seen in. The bathroom is equally stylish and timeless with classic white tile, a pedestal sink, and clean, contemporary fixtures. Storage is often the Achilles heel of studio living-but not here. A generously sized closet helps keep everything tucked away and organized, allowing the space to remain calm and clutter-free. And while the unit itself shines, the building offers the kind of thoughtful amenities that make everyday life smoother: a well-kept laundry room, secure bike storage, and a beautifully maintained rooftop deck perfect for summer evenings under the city sky. The building is intimate, impeccably cared for, and full of character-a peaceful retreat right in the center of it all. What's included in the rent? Water, heat, and trash-making budgeting easy and predictable in a city where that's never a given. While the building doesn't offer parking, street parking is accessible and plentiful, and nearby garage rentals are an option for those who need it. But it's the neighborhood that truly makes this home special. Just one block from the lakefront and the iconic Recreation Drive, you're steps from Chicago's best outdoor playground: a 9-hole golf course, lakeside cafe, tennis courts, softball fields, a nature preserve, playgrounds, and access to the lakefront trail for biking, running, or a peaceful stroll. This is the city's backyard, and it's right outside your front door. Transportation is a breeze, with the Addison Red Line stop under half a mile away and express buses to Michigan Avenue picking up just a block from the building. Daily conveniences abound with Jewel-Osco and Whole Foods nearby, and the local dining scene is second to none. Grab dinner at Angelina Ristorante on the corner or sushi from AJI or Wakamono. Unwind at Good Times Brewery for a cozy, neighborhood feel, or join friends at Sidetrack for the iconic Show Tunes Sundays. The Broadway and Halsted corridors are lined with beloved mom-and-pop restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood gems, each one contributing to Lakeview's eclectic and energetic identity. This studio isn't just a rental-it's a lifestyle. One rooted in charm, community, and connection to everything that makes Chicago feel like home. Long-term tenants have loved it here, and it's easy to see why. From morning sunbeams to lakefront sunsets, this is a space that lets you live fully, stylishly, and comfortably. Come experience what it means to truly live the Chicago Lifestyle. Schedule a Private Showing
