Discover authentic Chicago loft living at the iconic Post Card Factory Lofts in the heart of Lakeview. This move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence blends timeless industrial character with thoughtful updates - all in a surprisingly quiet setting. Unlike what you might expect from the address, this unit does not face Irving Park Road, offering a more peaceful and private atmosphere while still being steps from everything Lakeview has to offer. Inside, you'll find soaring 14-foot timber ceilings, exposed brick walls, oversized south-facing windows, and rich hardwood floors that create a warm, light-filled space. The expansive open living and dining area is anchored by a gas fireplace, making it ideal for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The modern kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and an impressive eight-foot island with seating - perfect for cooking, gathering, or casual dining. The primary bedroom offers generous closet space, while the lofted second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or creative space, with additional storage below. New window treatments (blinds) have been added throughout, enhancing both privacy and style. Brand new, extra-large bathroom vanity, sink, quartz counter top, and in-unit GE washer dryer, conveniently built in behind the vanity, giving the next owner immediate value and functionality. Building amenities include resident and freight elevators, bike storage, a nearby second-floor laundry room, trash chute, and a shared rooftop deck with panoramic city views. One assigned parking space in the attached heated garage is included, plus ample street parking for guests. Located just steps from the Brown Line, and minutes from Lake Michigan, Belmont Harbor, Wrigley Field, restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood favorites - this home offers the best of Lakeview living with character you simply can't replicate. A true loft with history, charm, and comfort.
