Lakefront Living at Lake Shore Condominiums in southeast Evanston. 1500 sqft of peaceful, spacious living directly across from Lake Michigan and South Blvd Beach can be yours in one of Evanston's most sought-after neighborhoods. This stunning 2-bedroom condo in a Georgian Revival historical register building offers beautifully transformed living spaces. No detail has been overlooked during the meticulous remodel of this immaculate property. A beautiful archway leads to the oversized living room that features refinished hardwood floors, a slew of original details and a wall of generous windows which overlook the tranquil courtyard and koi pond below. The wide hallway continues through another set of archways into a formal dining room and fully renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, high end Stainless-Steel appliances and a walk-in customized pantry. A lovely breakfast counter provides space to enjoy the serenity and sounds of waves from across the street. The last archway leads to two generously sized bedrooms, a darling renovated bathroom with luxury finishes and in-unit laundry which are nicely tucked away from the living spaces. Other improvements include newly installed Space Pack AC, updated electrical, Marvin windows, custom drapery and ELFA closet organizers in all closets. This renovation brilliantly preserves the historical charm while providing updated luxury and functional modern living. The building is exceptionally well maintained, and the community here is something people don't want to leave. Add in a private garage, assigned storage, and unbeatable walkability to the lake, the beach, Northwestern and the train; this one is hard to beat. Nothing to do but move right in!
