Classic East Lakeview character, generous room sizes, and thoughtful modern updates come together beautifully in this rarely available, oversized 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo on tree-lined Oakdale Avenue. Set inside a charming vintage building, this home immediately stands apart with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors, oversized windows, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling double-sided fireplace that adds warmth and architectural interest to the main living spaces. A charming entry with a built-in bookcase creates a warm first impression before opening into the spacious living room, where a bay window brings in wonderful natural light and overlooks tree-lined Oakdale Avenue. The fireplace serves as a beautiful focal point while naturally defining the living and dining areas, giving the home a sense of flow, function, and separation that is increasingly hard to find in condo living. The formal dining room is a true standout, offering the kind of dedicated entertaining space rarely found in today's condo market, with room for holidays, dinner parties, and everyday meals while adding to the home's overall sense of scale, comfort, and livability. The updated kitchen feels clean, open, and airy, beautifully finished with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a white subway tile backsplash, generous cabinetry, and excellent prep space. The oversized primary suite offers impressive space, generous closet storage, and a beautifully updated en-suite bath featuring marble tile, a soaking tub, an oversized shower with teak bench, and a frosted window that brings in natural light while maintaining privacy. The second bedroom is also exceptionally large, giving the home even more flexibility for guests, work-from-home, or everyday living. With two additional closets and generous proportions, it functions beautifully as a true second bedroom, guest space, office, or den without feeling like a compromise. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, extra storage, and access to a wonderful common courtyard. All of this in the heart of classic East Lakeview, just moments from the best of Broadway, Halsted, and Clark, including Jennivee's Bakery, Jake's Pub, Foursided, Binny's, Walgreens, Butcher & The Bear, Sapori Trattoria, The Gundis, Tuk Tuk Thai, Taste of Egg, Luckycat, Barrel Cheese & Wine, Cubaneo, Black & Caspian, Cesar's Margaritas, Crisp, Starbucks, Mariano's, Stan's Donuts, Stella's Diner, The Bagel, Sia's, Le Petit Marcel, and so many more neighborhood favorites.
