Located just steps from Winnemac Park in Chicago's desirable Lincoln Square neighborhood, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home strikes the quintessential balance of vintage charm, style, & the kind of comfort that can only be found at home. Don't let the Foster address fool you - this unit is tucked in the back of the building and doesn't experience any street noise. Upon entering, you'll step through the front door & take note of the hardwood floors, tall ceilings & open floorplan - perfect for entertaining. Sunlight pours through the east-facing windows in the expansive living room which is large enough for a comfortable sectional couch. From the living room, you'll tour the kitchen, which boasts cherry shaker cabinets, glass tile backsplash, granite countertops, & stainless steel appliances. Don't miss the island, making it an eat-in kitchen & featuring additional storage. Down the hall, you'll first explore the primary bedroom. This room is large enough for a queen-sized bed & has charming blue walls, two large closets with thoughtful built-ins, & south-facing windows which offer gorgeous natural light all day long. Next, you'll find the second bedroom - this room is perfect for a home office or workout space. It also features coveted south-facing windows & takes you to your private outdoor space. You have enough room here for chairs, a table, & a grill to enjoy all summer long! The full bathroom features a soaking tub/shower and timeless finishes. Rounding out the space is in-unit laundry, a designated exterior parking space, central air & heat (replaced in 2025!), a thoughtful coat/linen closet, & additional (13x6) storage space in the basement. 2217 West Foster is an all-brick building in the beloved Lincoln Square & Chappell Elementary School District. The unbeatable location is steps away from parks, restaurants & bars, grocery stores, shopping, gyms, & so much more. Welcome home.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
