Condo Bargain in Wilmette: 715 Ridge Rd.

My best buy for this week is a condo in Wilmette. It’s a one bedroom, one bath unit with a large combo living /dining room.

It just came on the market and is listed at $134,900. Here’s why it’s such a great buy:

• It is the least expensive condo in Wilmette, Winnetka or Glencoe, so if you need or want to live in this area and are on a tight budget, this could be a great option for you.

• It’s spacious and bright, with an easy living floor plan. Two bay windows in the living room flood the unit with light. The living room is very large and the kitchen is big enough to comfortably accommodate a table for four. There are several closets and plenty of storage.

• It’s centrally located between the Harper and McKenzie school districts and convenient to the PACE bus and shops along Ridge Road and Lake Avenue.

So, what’s the catch? The only drawbacks are: 1) the unit is dated (but not offensively so); 2) there’s no in-unit laundry (but the laundry room is easily accessible on the first floor of the building); and 3) there is no covered parking (but the unit does come with an assigned parking space).

If this looks like something that could work for you, just give me a call. I’d be happy to show it to you. 847-687-5957
