Welcome to this gorgeous 2 bed / 2 bath corner loft in a boutique elevator building where history and modern style collide. Word on the street is that this former perfume factory once filled the neighborhood with fragrance - today, it's all about character and comfort. Step inside and be wowed by 16-foot timber ceilings, exposed brick, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen makes a bold statement with its labradorite toned cabinetry, a playful homage to the Blue Line, injecting richness and personality into the home. White quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious island perfect for entertaining round out the design, opening seamlessly to the dramatic living and dining area. Anchored by a fireplace and overlooking quiet St. George Street, it's the perfect backdrop for both entertaining and everyday living. Both bedrooms are generously sized, each offering two closets including a walk-in. The lofted primary suite spans the entire second floor with its own bath and flexible space for an in home office. And here's the kicker: this unit sits in the corner of the building with no neighbors on either side, giving you unmatched privacy in a vibrant community. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, updated bathrooms, 2 heated attached garage parking spots (1 owned & 1 leased at $120 / month), and a location that puts you steps from the Blue Line, Logan Square and Bucktown's best restaurants, bars, shops, and the 606 Trail. This isn't just a home - it's a showstopper loft with a story as unique as its design.
