Chicago, IL 60657 530 W Cornelia Avenue # 2N

Imagine starting your morning with a walk to the lake, grabbing coffee or breakfast from one of the neighborhood spots a short walk from your door, and being back home before your first meeting. This spacious 2-bed, 1-bath condo in a classic courtyard building is about lifestyle. It puts you five minutes from the lakefront and walking distance from the restaurants, shops, Wrigley Field, the Red line, and express bus 146 that gets you downtown in minutes. The neighborhood has that rare quality: people who find it, stay. The building brings the vintage courtyard aesthetic, character architecture and great energy, backed by a renovation in 2006 that handled all the infrastructure you don't want to think about: plumbing, electrical, and walls. Inside, the space is built for how people actually live now. The front bedroom overlooks the courtyard fountain, bright, sunny, and quietly inspiring, making it the perfect dedicated home office for anyone who works remotely. The kitchen is stocked with elevated appliances, LG counter-depth refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and GE slide-in gas range with ample cabinet storage throughout. Central A/C and furnace keep you in control year-round, and in-unit laundry means the laundromat is never your problem again. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout, filling the home with warmth, while volume ceilings, recessed lighting, and bay windows bring in the morning light. A gas fireplace anchors the living room for winter days. The storage situation is better than you'd expect. Multiple closets plus a large private, secure basement storage closet ---not a cage, but your own actual space that is big enough for your bike, gear, and everything else that doesn't belong in the living room. Grab your bike and you're out on the street in under a minute, headed to the lake. The back stairs give you fast, easy access for walking your pets. Truly, just leash up and go, no lobby, no wait. The neighborhood is pet friendly, street parking is readily available, and a rental garage is nearby when you need it.
