2435 W Balmoral Avenue 1N Welcome to a rental experience that feels nothing like a typical apartment. Nestled in an intimate four-unit building, this beautifully updated unit offers the warmth of a single-family home without the upkeep. The thoughtfully designed layout flows naturally from room to room. The sun-filled living room opens directly to the dining room and adjoining kitchen, creating an inviting, connected space that is ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout, lending a warm, timeless character to every room. With two well-proportioned bedrooms, the unit also features a heated den adjacent to one of the bedrooms - a versatile extra space perfectly suited as a home office, creative studio, or additional space. Abundant storage throughout means there is a place for everything, keeping the home feeling open and organized. Downstairs, a private basement room with in-unit laundry adds exceptional value - use it as a recreation room, media lounge, home gym, or playroom. This kind of flexible square footage is a true rarity in Chicago rentals. The unit has been recently upgraded with fresh neutral finishes and new windows throughout, bringing in generous natural light. Outside, enjoy two dedicated parking spaces and green space in both the front and side yards - an uncommon luxury in the city. The location could not be more convenient. Steps from the #49 Western bus, and just a short distance from the vibrant shops and restaurants of Lincoln Square, Giddings Plaza, and the serene West Ridge Natural Area - everything you need is right at your doorstep.
