About This Home

As of March 2025

Multiple offers received. Highest and best offers due by Monday 2/10 at noon. Located in the heart of Chicago's beloved Lakeview neighborhood on a quiet one-way street, this sun-filled 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom penthouse (with two private outdoor spaces!) has so much to offer. Upon entering via the interior staircase, you'll be welcomed into the open-concept kitchen & living space. You'll note the tall ceilings, hardwood floors, & custom millwork throughout. This space is outfitted with a cozy gas-starter/wood-burning fireplace & has plenty of square footage for an expansive dining table & living room furniture. Don't miss the Juliette balcony where you can step outside above Seminary Street for fresh air and a nice cross breeze. The kitchen is a chef's dream - you'll appreciate the high-end stainless appliances & granite countertops with thoughtful beveled edges. The dark wood cabinetry provides abundant storage & adds a modern yet warm feeling to the space. A spacious peninsula rounds out the kitchen, offering bar stool seating for three. Next, you'll find the primary bedroom which is spacious enough for a king-sized bed. Windows abound in the primary bedroom, making this a light-filled space. A large walk-in closet has thoughtful built-ins for plenty of storage. Finally, relax in your en-suite bathroom with a dual vanity, separate steam shower & jacuzzi tub. Down the hall, you'll find the sizable second bedroom. This flexible space is large enough to fit a queen bed and desk, & features a closet with built-ins. The second bathroom was recently refinished with a moody black vanity & tile, wallpaper accent wall, & a walk-in shower. Rounding off this floor is one of your private outdoor spaces, accessible via the hallway (not the bedroom - perfect for hosting!). This deck was recently refinished with composite decking - meaning minimal maintenance for you! This is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Next, take the interior stairs to the second level, where you'll find a built-in bar complete with a beverage fridge & ice machine. If you're looking for home office space, you can fit a desk up here, too - a perfectly sunny spot to get some work done. This couldn't be more convenient for entertaining, as you exit right out to your recently refinished private rooftop deck. The roof was just replaced, as well as the composite decking, & is completely decked out with a huge pergola, built-in heaters, privacy walls, turf, & TV hook-up. This is the ideal spot to watch a Sunday afternoon football game in the fall. This home is upgraded with in-unit laundry, central A/C, plenty of storage (a large built-out coat closet/pantry & additional storage in the basement), & a garage parking spot. Last of all, this all-brick walk-up building is conveniently located steps from the lake, Southport Corridor, Wrigley Field, Whole Foods, Target, countless restaurants & bars, & public transportation - you are a short walk to the Belmont stop servicing the purple, brown, & red line (but still tucked away from the hustle & bustle of city life). This home is zoned for the coveted Nettelhorst School District and right down the block from Hawthorne Scholastic Academy which has a large turf field and playground. Welcome home.
