A hidden gem! This top floor 2 bed 1 bath expansive condo features polished hardwood throughout, skylight, west and south facing light, large bedrooms, beautiful entertaining and living room space, external parking and a large patio. Just steps from UIC medical and campus, RUSH, Taylor street, highway access and CTA train and bus and yet nestled into an old neighborhood full of gorgeous brick cottages, turn of the century millwork and plenty of small parks making lots of greenspaces within a hop of your front door. Built (varying reports of 1866-1868) with more southern architecture in mind, the boutique 6 unit building feels much more stately and yet intimate. The entryway is shared with just one other unit and upon entering, your private staircase leads you up with a skylight perched to light the steps as you walk up. Blonde oak gleams throughout the unit and has remained unpainted. Plenty of windows make this home great for ones leafy pets. Soapstone counters of deep black and stainless steel appliances pair well together with the exposed woodiness. Both bedrooms are great sizes with a shared bathroom and in unit laundry off the hallway. The back opens to a generously sized patio and an assigned parking space. This building is investment friendly and ideally located. A rare find in the sought-after Little Italy, Tri Taylor, UIC and Hospital District area.
