Units n/a

Excellent location! Quiet neighborhood, yet it's only 3 blocks from downtown Des Plaines. Entertainment, restaurants, local cafes & shopping are all so close. This 1250 sq ft, spacious 2-bedroom 2- bathroom unit has a nice open layout with exposed brick walls throughout the unit giving it a "Loft" like feel. The 15 X 9 kitchen has been opened up by removing a wall, which adds more room for those who like to cook! Generous counter space & hardwood cabinets. The adjacent 8.4 X 12 dining space has room for a large table & chairs and flows over into the 16 x 14.4 living room that opens to the 12.5 X 5 balcony. Both bedrooms are spacious and feature lots of closet space! The primary bedroom includes dual closets. Additional linen closet in hallway. Newer items include balcony doors 11/24, new coil on furnace 1/25 and recent garage door maintenance 2/25. Special assessment for structural posts & beams has been paid by owner already. Flooring & paint are a few years old. Take in some early sunlight & evening air on the large balcony, perfect for your morning coffee or late afternoon grilling, with room for a bistro set! There's a convenient in-building fitness center plus nearby trails & parks for your active lifestyle year-round. Coin laundry room just outside the unit door! Upgraded intercom/buzzer works with your cell phone. Just 10 minutes from the terminals at O'Hare, about 5 minutes to 294 & 90 and the Metra station is conveniently located in downtown Des Plaines, just 3 blocks away. Schools & parks all nearby. Your pets will feel welcome in this condo community with no restrictions on weight or breed. Currently rentals are not allowed BUT it's in the review process with the HOA board. Owner has paid the assessments through June, and the HOA has strong reserves.
