About 222 N Genesee St

Unit 207 at 222 N Genesee has been renovated top to bottom, and it shows the moment you walk in. This is a second-floor 2 bedroom, 1 bath running about 900 square feet, with finishes you'd normally expect in a much higher-priced apartment. The kitchen has granite countertops and full stainless steel appliances. The bathroom is finished in floor-to-ceiling marble-look tile. Wood-look tile runs through the entire unit, so there's no carpet anywhere. Clean, modern, and built to last. Laundry is in the unit, so no shared machines and no laundromat trips. The building has secured keyed entry and CCTV cameras throughout, so you come home to a safe, secure property. One off-street parking space is included with the unit, and if you need more, additional spaces are available to rent at the public garage on County Street. Utilities are simple here. The water and sewer are included, and the unit is all electric with no gas bill, so you only pay electric and internet. Easy to budget. Location is a big part of what makes this unit special. You're right in downtown Waukegan, directly across the street from the historic Genesee Theatre, so concerts, comedy, and live shows are steps from your door. Walk a couple of blocks along Genesee and you'll find local restaurants, cafes, and bars. The Waukegan Public Library is just a couple blocks away, and the downtown Metra station is a short walk, with the Union Pacific North line running straight into downtown Chicago. Lake Michigan, the Waukegan harbor, and the municipal beach sit about a mile east, an easy walk or a quick drive when you want to be on the water.
