Welcome to this jumbo 3-bed/2-bath classic Uptown condo with wonderful updates in a meticulously maintained Margate Park 6-flat. As you enter the building's vestibule, the gorgeous white marble wainscoting, wood trim, and a striking, original mosaic floor provide a fitting introduction to the character and care that runs throughout the building. Once inside the spacious foyer you'll feel immediately at home. The bright, oversized living room showcases light wood floors, a decorative gas fireplace, beautiful built-ins, millwork, an antique bookcase, and a cozy window seat - all framed by crown, picture rail and base moldings that carry throughout the home. Just off the living room, a separate, spacious sunroom is wrapped in gorgeous vintage glass-paneled windows offering picturesque tree views and great breezes- a warm, cozy setting for working, reading, relaxing, or recharging. Down the hallway to the rear of the home, where you'll find an extremely large dining room wrapped in lower wood paneling with decorative wallpaper above - a special space that can accommodate large dinners with family and friends. Also highlighted in that space is a lovely sitting area with room for a beautiful bar setup, perfect for entertaining as dusk settles through the west-facing windows. Off the dining room sits a wide chef's kitchen with custom wood cabinets, granite countertops, a 6-burner stainless steel range, and stainless steel appliances. Tucked at the back of the unit is a wonderful office, hobby, or breakfast area that is soaked in joyful south and west-facing light with a classic exposed brick wall as a backdrop. There are three bedrooms in this home. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed and is filled with warm, natural light - with direct access to one of the unit's two updated full bathrooms. The second bedroom is quite spacious, with a generous closet and a west-facing window. The third bedroom, located toward the back of the home, showcases the IN-UNIT WASHER/DRYER and the second full bathroom with glass sliding shower doors, black and white mini-rectangular flooring, a Kohler sink and toilet plus a wall mounted floating cabinet. Head out the rear staircase to a HUGE common outdoor space with a large sun deck - each owner can use their own grill and table on the deck. Boasting 30 sunny windows throughout, this unit is flooded with natural light from every room. The unit is in an A+ location that is truly unbeatable - the park and express bus are at the end of the block, and the lakefront, beach, parks, shopping, restaurants, and coffee shops are all conveniently close by. Great public transportation is also available, with hree bus lines (one express line to downtown) within a block and the El just three blocks away. Storage space 1W is located in the basement.
