Live in one of the most iconic structures within the Bryn Mawr Historic District!! "The Manor House" was designed and built in 1907, by famed British architect John Edmund Oldaker, in a classic Tudor style. The gorgeous, brick courtyard building features lovely design elements, such as limestone detailing, a fountain, statuary, and terra cotta reliefs. The building is quite probably best know for its legendary glass turrets, and its British Consulate past. Prior to being placed on the National Registry of Historic Places, is was reimagined as 16 separate condos. This particular two bedroom home boasts one of the building's iconic glass turrets, which is now an amazing dining room. Although the space was completely redone a few years ago with new hardwood floors, a timeless, subway tiled bath, a classic new galley kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, tiled backsplash, shaker style white cabinetry and additional pantry, the home still retains so much original charm. The anchor of the massive living room is the woodburning fireplace with a beautiful marble surround, and flanked by original custom bookcases it makes a real impression. Decorative ceiling beams and wainscotting round out the living room's other features. The separate turret dining room has a counter opening to the kitchen, and those lovely curved windows. This is a very large, corner home in an incredibly elegant building in the middle of a vibrant neighborhood. You have shops, restaurants, the park, beach and lake all around you. Its also ideally located steps away from the Red Line, and several major CTA busses. The owner also owns a deeded, garage spot next door to the building, which is an additionla $25,000. The apartment has it all, vintage charm, modern conveniences, such as central air and heat, and in-unit washer and dryer, no pet weight restrictions, extra storage, all in an ideal location.
