Property Description
Welcome to the Chicago Lifestyle, a Skokie story. The largest corner floor plan in an intimate 19 unit vintage boutique building, Unit 2S is a southeast exposure 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence that lives beautifully beyond its footprint. Set within a handsome 1920s brick and limestone building thoughtfully converted to condominiums in 2004, this home pairs true architectural character with the modern day comforts today's buyers actually want. Step inside and the first thing you notice is the light. Dual southeast exposures pour through oversized double pane windows, washing original hardwood floors in warmth from morning through afternoon. The open concept living, dining, and kitchen layout creates a true great room, ideal for everyday living and effortless entertaining alike. The kitchen anchors the main living area with cherry cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. A central island with a gas cooktop and breakfast bar seating becomes the natural gathering spot, while a separate prep kitchen just beyond it offers a second full zone of counter and cabinet space. This is the kind of dual zone kitchen layout you rarely find in homes at this scale or price point. Down a private hallway, both bedrooms are generously sized and pair with their own full bathrooms. The primary suite easily fits a king bed setup, offers treetop views through a wall of windows, and features an en-suite bath with tub and shower. The second bedroom flexes between guest space, home office, or creative room, suited to whatever the next chapter calls for. Additional features include in unit stacked washer and dryer tucked discreetly into a hallway closet, a private storage shelving on the first floor, a transferable rental parking spot in the alley for $200/ month, a newer furnace, and a smart thermostat for energy efficient comfort. The building itself is exceptionally well stewarded. Capital projects have already been completed, including a new roof, tuckpointing, fresh exterior paint, new water heater, and plumbing updates. Reserves are healthy, the HOA is professionally managed, and assessments remain refreshingly low at $276.82 per month, covering water and trash. With only 19 units, the building offers the kind of boutique scale where neighbors actually know each other. The location is one of the most underrated value stories on the North Shore. Gross Point Park sits directly across the street, with Channelside Park a short walk away. Old Orchard Mall, with its shopping, dining, and entertainment, is minutes from the front door. The Edens Expressway provides fast access downtown and to the broader North Shore, and the CTA Yellow Line connects easily into the city. Cultural anchors like the Illinois Holocaust Museum, the Skokie Theatre, and the North Shore Sculpture Park enrich the surrounding community, while neighborhood favorites such as Nando's Peri-Peri, Emma's Bagels, and Shake Shack round out the everyday rotation. For the first time buyer, transitioning buyer, or anyone seeking vintage character, intelligent space, and a smart location without the typical North Shore price tag, Unit 2S quietly checks every box.
