This beautiful penthouse level home boasts pride of place at the southeast corner of The Helena, East Lakeview's coveted boutique elevator building. Transom windows and skylights with custom blinds provide a light, airy feeling to complement the 10 foot ceilings and gracious layout. The welcoming foyer, wide hallways and generous room sizes give the feel of a single family home, but with treetop views, Lake Michigan, and Chicago's Lakefront Trail just three blocks away. Two of the three bedrooms have full ensuite baths and walk-in closets; bedroom three boasts a large skylight with electric sunshade and a large custom closet, ideal for guests or your home office. Come for the location and design, stay for the comfort and practicality of this turnkey home! All systems and appliances were replaced in 2019 and 2021, the hardwood floors have been refinished with a rich, on-trend walnut stain, and storage abounds throughout. Professionally managed and with a uniquely friendly vibe, The Helena has a ground level, heated garage as well as gated exterior parking with remote control access. Unit 403 comes with both a deeded garage space AND a deeded exterior space for you and your guests, or to rent out - you can't beat the walkability of this location! Professionally managed, and with its own long-time maintenance provider, The Helena is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. Flexicore construction ensures safety and quiet, and a separate, floor-to-ceiling storage closet is included. Floor plan and video available, but you'll want to see this spacious, chic home in person!
