Listing agent Sue Duchek of Picket Fence Realty in Arlington Heights offers further details:

What is the hidden gem in this unit?

“I believe this question requires a twofold answer. The first is this building offers the perfect balance of location, quality and the feeling of coming home. The secure entry leads to a beautiful foyer with upscale décor. The second is that this fourth-floor unit is located amid the treetops overlooking a residential setting, especially enjoyable views from either one of the two balconies. Sitting in this beautiful unit you get the feeling of living in your private little haven.”

What would your perfect buyer look like?

“Anyone looking for a warm, homey environment — with freedom from maintenance responsibilities, yet steps from the arts, shopping, dining and, of course, the Metra. The floor plan and space that this unit offers rivals that of a ranch single-family home without the need to clean gutters, mow lawns or shovel snow. Additionally, there is the bonus of being able to enjoy the thriving downtown area.”

What surprises you most about this unit?

“The resounding surprise in this unit is the open-flow floor plan and abundance of sunshine. Each floor has only a few units — so no long hallways. Being an end unit, the natural light from eastern, southern and western exposures make this a sun-drenched space. With generous room sizes and storage areas, this 1,400-square-foot unit is a true surprise. The comparison to a ranch-style home is natural.”

What TV show could be set here?

“I am going to go with ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show,’ a classic show from the ’70s but true for today. Mary enjoyed her adorable apartment, had lifelong friends in the building and who can forget that beautiful balcony view as the snow fell. This is the perfect place for a fun loving, — full of life — warm and friendly person.”

What is the coolest thing about living in this neighborhood?

“110 S. Evergreen offers a residential feel next to a village/urban feel. It offers all of the life that downtown Arlington Heights offers yet is surrounded by neighbors; meet at a park, enjoy a walk, go for coffee, see a play … the list goes on and on.”

What is one adjective you’d use to describe this unit?

“Welcoming.”

Name three plants, flowers or trees in the yard.

“The eastern balcony was perfect for geraniums while the southern balcony enjoys the top of a lush pine tree, and the western window ledge was perfect for the owners’ family treasure, an 85-year-old Christmas cactus.”
