Beautifully maintained 1 bed, 1 bath condo located in the heart of Lincoln Park, set within a charming, gated courtyard building filled with lilac bushes and seasonal planters. Rehabbed around 2007, this top-floor unit offers added privacy and quiet, with the benefit of being set back from the street to minimize noise and foot traffic. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout, taller ceilings, solid walls and doors, and thoughtful upgrades like a smart thermostat, smart lock, and smart smoke/carbon monoxide alarm. The kitchen features cherry wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while the updated marble bathroom adds a touch of luxury. The in-unit washer and dryer, extra storage, and private balcony-perfect for relaxing or grilling-round out the highlights of this move-in-ready home. The balcony offers partial tree coverage for seasonal privacy and enough room for a small table, seating, and a grill. Enjoy peaceful mornings or evenings overlooking the tranquil courtyard from your own outdoor oasis. HVAC was replaced in 2022. All of this in an unbeatable location-just steps from Oz Park, the Lincoln Park Zoo, the lakefront, coffee shops, top-rated restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and public transportation. Don't miss your chance to own a peaceful retreat in one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods!
