About This Home
As of July 2020This Lakeview penthouse condo is so fabulous that it definitely needs to be included in your next tour! It is an imaginative and beautiful 3-story home that's got 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and 3 wonderfully large outdoor decks on all 3 levels. Overall, the layout is just spectacular. It's got a charming kitchen with breakfast rm/family rm adjacent to it, hardwood floors throughout, 15ft high cathedral ceilings and 3 skylights that transmit brightness throughout the home. The master suite is spacious, with huge double vanity bathroom, whirlpool tub, separate shower and walk-in closet. The building has a timeless and classy design. It's cleverly tucked behind absolutely charming and warm urban foliage, and it looks across and just barely down the street at highly rated and coveted Nettelhorst School. And here's the fun part: 639 W. Melrose is a few buildings away from some of the best Broadway amenities in town, like amazing eateries, The Gap, Lakeview Athletic Club and more! Walk just a few minutes west and hop on the Belmont el stop. Garage parking and huge storage included!
