Description

Edgewater's most iconic walkup residence - the Manor House! Architect J.E.O. Pridmore's work has stood the test of time and its castle-like turrets with a backdrop of the Edgewater Beach Hotel as one travels east on Bryn Mawr towards the lake shore says "Edgewater" like no other scene. This top floor corner 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom duplex home with two large living spaces is equally unique. The drama of the expansive living and dining room with its coffered ceilings, built ins, and refinished floors is compelling, and you can find historic pictures of when it was once a ballroom under the lake shore bridge down the street. The adjacent bedroom with its own office nook on the way is something you'll love. Most light switches are smart capable and there is also a 6 zone sound system. Step out from the living room entrance to look over Bryn Mawr from one of the turrets! The kitchen's length and tasteful updates make "too many cooks in the kitchen" nothing but a saying. A rebuilt staircase down to the lower level family room (option to convert to 3rd bedroom) brings you to what could feel like a separate home with another hallway entrance, plenty of light from windows looking out over the beautiful courtyard, the primary bedroom suite, and a large laundry room. Deeded, heated garage parking across an alley is available for purchase. Lake shore express buses and the CTA Bryn Mawr station are quite close. Marianos and Jewel-Osco are both within a few blocks. Plenty of green space along the lake, bike trails, and some of the nicest beaches in Chicago are all within about a half mile! It's all here - this is not the type of unit that comes around often.
