2048 W Farwell Ave. #1W

Spectacular vintage three bedroom two bathroom condominium in an equally impressive six unit boutique building which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Unique to this unit only is a private basement space (approximately 1000 SF) currently set up as a workshop- a woodworkers dream! This space is part of the condo and can be duplexed directly from the unit if desired or accessed through the common basement as it is now. The basement has 9' ceilings and huge natural light windows. A fantastic opportunity affording any number of uses including home offices, art studios, home gyms, or additional living space with bath. The main condo is a high first floor unit offering gracious room sizes and vintage detail throughout. A 36' long gallery hallway has arched doorways and a telephone nook and is simply stunning for displaying artwork. The elegant living room has beautiful divided light windows across the entire southern and western walls and has a showcase decorative Italianate fireplace mantle. Features include hardwood floors, 8'10" ceilings, plaster walls, period lighting fixtures, and picture and crown moldings in every room. There are generous closets everywhere for clothing, coats and linens as well as a walk in laundry room. There are 2 large bedrooms off the main hall that share a large classic white vintage bathroom and a 3rd bedroom off the kitchen with an en suite bath too. There is a banquet-sized dining room that opens to the butler's pantry with glass front cabinetry and additional workspace. The sweet kitchen with maple flooring is updated with granite counters,ample white cabinetry, and many newer appliances. The back porch offers a nice space for morning coffee and for growing herbs and hanging plants. There is grill space directly below on the common grounds. A garage directly across from the back stairs completes the package. One additional very special feature of this smaller self managed association is the furnished studio apartment on the main floor maintained and used by the 6 owners for their own guests! Pets are welcomed here. A lovely tree lined block in West Ridge just 1 block from Warren Park. Enjoy living near the lakefront and beaches. Convenient for commuters only .5 miles to the Rogers Park Metra station @Lunt & Ravenswood.
