Property Description
Just steps from beautiful Margate Park and the lake, you will fine this incredibly bright and unique top floor gem: 861 W Carmen Ave Unit 3E. This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath penthouse spans the full south-side of the building and features 20 (!) windows w/ south, east and west exposures. Enjoy rich real hardwood flooring throughout the refreshingly unique floor plan. Huge living room offers plenty of flexible space for relaxing and entertaining, with lovely treetop/neighborhood views. This flows into the sunny separate dining area, which showcases a gorgeous restored vintage built-in buffet. The open, updated white kitchen offers an abundance of white cabinets, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The private outdoor space off the kitchen is perfect for grilling. On the west side of the unit, find the massive primary bedroom, with generous space for a king bed and plenty of room to be creative with office and lounging furniture; there is also a large built-out walk-in closet! Down the hall, find the laundry closet with the high-efficiency washer/dryer combo machine. Both the full bathroom and powder room have been meticulously rehabbed with designer finishes. A good-sized second bedroom with another walk-in closet completes this amazing condo. Additional spacious storage room is included! Central heat and air, with brand-new AC and 2017 furnace with regular maintenance. Wonderful location: walk just east to the park and lake, and a few blocks west to the Argyle red line stop. Enjoy all the great restaurants along Argyle and Broadway, and take a short stroll to ever-popular Andersonville for shopping/dining/entertainment. *** Note: due to pending building projects, cash or portfolio loan financing will likely be needed here. Property is currently leased through July 2025.
