Vintage 2-Bedroom with Pocket Doors and Parking for $480,000: 559 W. Surf in East Lakeview
This 2-bedroom in the Green Brier at 559 W. Surf in East Lakeview came on the market in October 2023.
Built in 1903, the building has 78 units and parking. Some listings say it is indoor and others say it is outdoors.
In prior chatters, the building had a doorman but it isn’t listed in the HOA on this unit. Did they get rid of door staff or was it wrong in prior chatters?
The only building amenity appears to be a bike room.
This unit has many of its vintage features including pocket doors, crown molding and massive wood moldings (some of which have been painted white).
There’s a vintage fireplace in the living room.
It has a foyer and hardwood floors throughout.
There’s no separate dining room as you would usually see in vintage units but there is a dining space in the kitchen.
The south facing kitchen has two big windows, 42 inch wood cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
The listing says it has a “unique” second entrance which can be made into a home office space.
The unit has the features buyers look for including central air, a “new” washer/dryer in the unit and a covered, deeded garage spot with a storage locker.
It also has a “newer” hot water heater and furnace and “countless updates.”
This building is in a prime East Lakeview location near Mariano’s, Trader Joe’s, shops, restaurants, Starbucks, the Landmark movie theater and everything else East Lakeview has to offer. There are numerous bus routes nearby.
Listed at $480,000, will the sellers get their price even with mortgage rates nearly at 8%?
Francesco Angileri and Savina Angileri at Coldwell Banker have the listing. See the pictures and floor plan here.
