Thoughtfully updated 2nd-floor condo tucked away on a quiet Jefferson/Portage side street. The current owner customized this home with exceptional attention to detail, including completely reimagining the kitchen-taking it down to the studs and redesigning the layout to create a separate dining space. Both bathrooms have been beautifully redone, along with new lighting throughout, and both generously sized bedrooms easily accommodate king-size beds. *A water line is already in place, making the addition of a dishwasher easy. Central heat and air conditioning provide year-round comfort! The owner also built out a defined foyer, creating a welcoming entry and adding even more character to the home. And then there's the must-see "Phantom Hallway," complete with dramatic lighting and one-of-a-kind details that make this home truly unforgettable. Additional conveniences include a bright common laundry room and private storage in the basement, plus parking space #5, directly outside of your back door. Ideally located just steps from the CTA, Metra, I-90/I-94, shopping, the post office and neighborhood conveniences. A truly special, move-in-ready home where thoughtful renovations, generous room sizes and personality come together beautifully.
