Step into this timeless masterpiece-a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in a vintage 1926 red brick and limestone building, where the walls have seen nearly a century of secrets, and now they're ready for yours! This top-floor slice of Chicago history sits in a 24-unit walk-up, meaning your legs will be in tip-top shape before you even hit the gym (bonus: no upstairs neighbors practicing their tap-dancing at 2 AM). Inside, you'll find gleaming hardwood floors so nice they'll make you reconsider that "shoes off" policy. The crown molding is so regal, you'll feel like minor royalty just living here. And let's talk about that vintage wood-burning fireplace-perfect for roasting marshmallows, setting the mood, or dramatically burning old love letters. The brand-new kitchen has everything a modern chef (or someone who just orders DoorDash) could want: stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher (because handwashing dishes is so last century), white cabinets, granite countertops, and a beautifully tiled backsplash that says, "I have my life together." Plus, there's an in-unit washer and dryer so you never have to suffer through another laundromat experience where someone steals your socks. The separate dining room is ideal for hosting dinner parties-or just displaying takeout containers to look fancy. The hallway details add character, because let's be honest, good hallways are an underrated feature. And did we mention the TWO brand-new bathrooms? No more morning standoffs over who gets the shower first. The bedrooms are cleverly tucked away at the end of the home, ensuring maximum peace, privacy, and an optimal "hide from guests" zone. With windows facing North, South, and West, you'll get all the fresh air and natural light you could ever dream of-great for plants, mood lighting, or spying on the neighbors. And let's not forget the radiant heat, which keeps you toasty all winter long without that dry, Sahara Desert air. Oh, and did we mention the parking space for your carriage? (Or your Toyota. Same thing, really.) This is not just a condo-it's a lifestyle upgrade. It's vintage charm meets modern convenience, with a sprinkle of comedic relief. Schedule a showing before someone else snags this gem and you're left regretting your life choices.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
