Property Description
Located in East Lakeview, this spacious two-bedroom residence at 550 W Surf Street #117 offers approximately 1,021 square feet of living space inside The Commodore, one of the neighborhood's distinctive vintage buildings. The first-floor home has been completely repainted, professionally deep cleaned, and prepared for its next owner, with refreshed kitchen tile adding a clean finishing touch. Hardwood floors run throughout the residence, while the generous living and dining area provides enough space for a full dining setup, comfortable everyday living, and a dedicated work-from-home area without feeling crowded. The L-shaped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, extensive cabinetry, and refreshed tile. Both bedrooms are well-sized with ample closet space, including custom Elfa organization systems. Central air conditioning, in-unit washer and dryer, updated lighting, and additional storage add the practical conveniences buyers often look for when considering a vintage Chicago condo. The Commodore features a landscaped courtyard, elevator access, on-site management, package room, and bike storage. Adding to the building's history, longstanding local lore associates its top floor with an Al Capone-era speakeasy during the Prohibition-an interesting piece of the property's past that remains building lore rather than verified historical record. The location puts some of Lakeview's most useful amenities within easy reach, with Broadway, Clark Street, and Diversey Parkway nearby for restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, fitness, shopping, nightlife, and public transportation. Head east and you're minutes from Lake Michigan, Diversey Harbor, Lincoln Park, and the Chicago Lakefront Trail, making the lakefront an easy part of everyday life rather than an occasional destination. Families and buyers considering nearby educational options will also appreciate the neighborhood's access to the highly sought-after Nettelhorst School community and Lake View High School. With more than 1,000 square feet, two true bedrooms, in-unit laundry, central air, hardwood floors, fresh interior updates, and an East Lakeview location near the lakefront, 550 W Surf #117 brings together the features that make vintage Chicago condos so appealing without giving up modern-day convenience. Whether you're looking for your next home or a well-located Lakeview property with long-term versatility, this residence offers space, character, and a location that continues to be one of the neighborhood's biggest draws.
