Rarely available HUGE 1470 square foot 2 bedroom condominium on 4th floor in building with an elevator. The building is called "The Manor" and she was built in 1929, has a great mix of professionals, U of I professors, and retirees. This is a small charming building (12 units) that is mostly owner occupied so being able to rent an apartment here is most unusual. This building was built in the pre-war style that is unimaginable to construct today. Thick concrete walls, wide hallways, tall ceilings, arched entry into various rooms were all built in a classic Chicago style apartment layout. While the building may be charming and historic, it is quite up to date by being wired for Gigabit high speed internet delivered via fiber optic cable. This is directly connected to the University of Illinois fiber ring so work from home is as fast at on campus. The bathroom and kitchen were renovated in 2024. Your apartment includes 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, 9' high ceilings, plenty of natural light, new windows, beautiful wood flooring throughout, great views of downtown Champaign and West Side Park, built in bookcases and closet organizers, lots of storage, washer and dryer included (no quarters required!). The entire building is no smoking. Easy access to campus and beyond with multiple bus lines within 1 block. FREE on street parking. Off street parking available for $50/month. Experienced and responsive management is just a text or a phone call away. Pets: Cat(s) only and if approved there's an additional pet deposit and monthly pet fee.
