823 W Oakdale Avenue unit: 2A Vintage charm meets elevated design in this beautifully curated 2 bed, 1.5 bath corner residence in the heart of Lakeview. Bathed in natural light, this home showcases gleaming hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, timeless original millwork, and soaring 9-foot ceilings. The thoughtfully designed layout features a formal dining room and a stunning butler's pantry transition, enhanced with designer wallpaper and custom finishes. The kitchen is both classic and refined with marble countertops, white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, updated appliances, and a new in-unit washer and dryer discreetly tucked away. Throughout the home, every detail has been carefully selected - from Visual Comfort designer lighting fixtures and custom brass hardware to curated wallpaper installations by Scalamandre, Ralph Lauren, and Rifle Paper Co. Custom window treatments and antique-inspired crystal door hardware further elevate the space, blending historic character with modern sophistication. A fully replaced A/C system adds modern comfort, while brand new bedroom windows with a transferred warranty offer peace of mind. Spring, summer, and fall bring lush tree coverage that creates exceptional privacy when in full bloom, adding to the home's serene feel. Additional highlights include abundant built-in storage, organized closets, and a large private storage unit in the basement labeled 2A. The building also offers bike and stroller storage, plus a communal washer/dryer if needed. Enjoy the convenience of one communal rear parking space, easy street parking on permit-only Oakdale (Zone 383, 24/7), and an unbeatable location just 3 blocks from the Brown and Purple Line for easy commuting, yet quiet enough that you don't hear a thing. Located in a well-maintained, community-oriented building with gated front and rear access, this home offers both security and a true neighborhood feel, all just steps from the best dining, shopping, and entertainment Lakeview has to offer.
