Both bedrooms are spacious and boast open views of Fremont Street. And the location? Unbeatable! Wrigley Field is just around the corner, along with incredible restaurants & entertainment, shopping along the Southport Corridor, the lakefront bike path, and the lake itself! Easy public transportation downtown via the Addison red line stop or multiple buses nearby. Need parking? Two monthly rental options at the end of the block and permit street parking. Plus, central heat & A/C, a rear deck off the kitchen for summer grilling, and a pet-friendly building with a storage unit included. Investor friendly building with 12 month leases required.
