1031 W Bryn Mawr Ave. #3B

Edgewater's most iconic walkup residence - the Manor House! Architect J.E.O. Pridmore's work has stood the test of time. Its distinctive castle-like turrets with a backdrop of the Edgewater Beach Hotel as one travels east on Bryn Mawr towards the lake shore says "Edgewater" like no other scene. This top floor corner 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom duplex home is equally unique. The drama of the expansive living and dining room with its coffered ceilings, built ins, and refinished floors is compelling. You can even find historic floorplans showing it was once a ballroom under the lake shore bridge down the street (how may can say that???). The adjacent bedroom has its own office nook on the way, and the office view will have you thinking you're in Cambridge. The living room door also exits to the top of the north turret. The kitchen's length and tasteful updates make "too many cooks in the kitchen" nothing but a saying with LOTS of counter space and storage. A rebuilt staircase down to the lower level 3rd bedroom (flexible configuration to a family room) brings you to what could feel like a separate home with another hallway entrance, plenty of light from windows looking out over the beautiful courtyard, the primary bedroom suite, and a large laundry room with loads of storage. Deeded, heated garage parking a 15ft walk across the alley in 5556 Sheridan is included with the purchase. Lake shore express buses and the CTA Bryn Mawr station are quite close. Marianos and Jewel-Osco are both within a few blocks. There is plenty of green space along the lake, bike trails, and some of the nicest beaches in Chicago are all within about a half mile! It's all here - this is not the type of unit that comes around often.
