The last time this home was for sale, Nirvana, 2Pac, and Michael Jackson were selling out stadiums, and Michael Jordan had just won his first championship. At the intersection of Lincoln Park's historic charm and a bright future lies a residence so rare, your realtor is double-checking its origins. Was this once a butcher shop or a candy store that inspired these stunning 11-foot beamed ceilings? This street-level corner unit offers easy access with no stairs to climb and seamless transit options, including the Armitage 73 bus right outside your door and the Brown Line just to the west. Begin your mornings with a walk among some of Chicago's most impressive estates or take a quick trip to the lakefront. Step out and find yourself in the heart of a neighborhood full of chic boutiques, artisanal shops, and a culinary scene that hosting Armitage Ale House, Summer House Santa Monica, Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba, Alinea, and many more. We'd list them all, but there simply isn't enough room! When it's time to relax, you can unwind at River Shannon, let a vintage breath at J9 Wine Bar, or enjoy a cocktail at Marquee Lounge. Step inside and, after marveling at the lofty 11" ceilings, notice the charming built-ins that maintain a neat and elegant feel over the classic parquet floors. The open kitchen features a butler's pantry, and a half flight of stairs leads to two generously sized bedrooms and a well-designed bathroom. Wondering about laundry? The building provides laundry facilities just steps away, but if you prefer an in-unit setup, the plumbing access below makes it easy to install without altering the flow of the home. Parking? No problem. Thanks to the surrounding multimillion-dollar homes with garages, street parking is abundant, making coming and going hassle-free. Plus, there's a storage unit so large it could easily double as a New York City apartment. As for the next time this comes on the market? Well, Walt Disney and the King of Pop might be thawed out by then, and A.I. will have solved all our problems.
