Beautiful top floor unit with generous room sizes and sun streaming in from three exposures. Entryway is impressive with its architectural elements including plaster detailing, arched ceilings and crown moldings. The east facing living room offers wood burning fireplace and windows looking onto the courtyard and over the treetops. Large formal dining room exposes bright completely updated kitchen that blends the old Hoosier cabinetry with the newer granite look. Commercial grade washer/dryer is conveniently discreet within the cabinetry. Stainless steel sink boasts a 'touch it on/touch it off ' faucet. The floor plan allows for bedroom and bathroom areas to be away from the living area. Both bathrooms are vintage and in excellent condition. There are four ample closets including a linen closet. Building is very well maintained and has healthy reserves. This location is perfect with a one block walk to Lake Michigan and a four block walk to the train at South Blvd. This one is special.
