Set in a beautiful center-entrance Greystone, this classic Buena Park home stands out for its extra-wide charm and having ALL the modern must-haves! Penthouse has parking, in-unit laundry, large private outdoor space, central ac and heat, and abundant (x10!) storage. The living spaces are bathed in natural sunlight with oversized bay windows. The expansive living room features hardwood floors and an exposed brick accent wall, with an adjoining dining area and space for an office nook. Plenty of room for everyday life, work and entertaining. The spacious kitchen pairs white cabinetry with newer stainless steel appliances, ample storage and a convenient pass-through to the living area. Primary bedroom is King sized with bay windows while the second bedroom's sliding glass door allows light to pour in. Step outside to an oversized private deck with room to lounge, dine, and enjoy warmer days. The building's character continues into the common areas, where exposed brick and a skylit stairwell showcase its classic Chicago charm and updated flooring (2022 project and 2018 roof). Pet friendly and a rental cap of two, which has not yet been met (must occupy for one year before renting). Enjoy Buena Park living, just moments from the lakefront, Montrose Beach, tennis courts, multiple grocery stores (NEW Trader Joes coming!) and neighborhood favorites like Michael's Pizza, Klein's Bakery and North Buena Deli. This home checks every box!
Buena Park, located between Montrose Avenue and Irving Park Road, is a residential and lakefront Chicago neighborhood with historic courtyard buildings and a quiet, tree-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sheridan Road and Montrose Avenue corridor, where corner cafes, small eateries, and lakefront foot traffic set the daily rhythm. The Uptown Theatre and the Aragon Ballroom sit nearby as marquee cultural anchors, with the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge adding late-night jazz lore. Brick walk-ups and vintage mid-rises define many blocks, with pockets of landmark-era detailing. Montrose Beach and the lakefront trail shape routines with open water views and long promenades. Transit nodes along the Red Line keep the area connected while preserving a calmer residential feel.
