1425 W Birchwood Ave. #1S

Welcome to this gorgeous vintage courtyard building with professionally landscaped gardens, eye-popping original tile work and arched doors located 1 block from the Lakefront! Enter the end unit on a high first floor into a large living room with amazing ceiling height, crown molding, canned lights with dimmers, and a beautiful marble-mantled gas fireplace for cozy winter nights! Meticulous walnut-stained hardwood floors run throughout the unit, and the southern exposure drenches the kitchen, dining room, bathroom and bedroom with sunlight. The bedroom easily fits a king-sized bed, and the home has 3 large closets + an additional storage room in the basement. The chef's kitchen and formal dining room are open concept and huge! The kitchen is outfitted with abundant 1.25" granite countertops, undermount sinks, new faucet, disposal and a high cocktail bar perfect for entertaining! 42" cherry cabinets and railroad tile backsplash complete this dreamy space! All new Stainless Steel Whirlpool appliances were installed October 2021, and stackable front-loading LG washer/dryer was installed January 2022. The bathroom has a large, jetted tub, a new Carrara marble soft-close vanity and an updated medicine cabinet. Solid-core doors meet your expectations of a thoughtfully and well executed conversion, and the association replaced the common water heater last year. A recent (2019) special assessment covered tuckpointing and lintel repairs. Professionally managed and exceptionally well maintained, there is not a lot of turnover in this building! Healthy reserves and several parking options within a block or two. 5 minute walk to the Jarvis Red Line and all the hip, chic spots that Jarvis Square and Rogers Park have to offer! Steps to Sheridan Road and the 147 Bus Direct to Downtown.
