Townhome living at its finest in a location that's hard to beat, offering the Metra, EL, NU Shuttle, shops, restaurants, and a five-block walk to the lakefront. Combine this with open-concept living on the main second floor where everyone can be part of the action whether cooking, dining, or hanging out in front of the TV, as well as a versatile floor plan depending on how many bedrooms or home offices you need, and it's perfect. Highlights of the main living level include open views from one end of the space to the other, teak hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, newer floor-to-ceiling windows, and the kitchen as a focal point. Dramatic dark cabinets that reach the ceiling offer plenty of kitchen storage, and white quartz countertops and sleek stainless appliances add to the drama of this contemporary kitchen. Multiple dining options are available: in front of the fireplace, at the kitchen counter, or in front of the kitchen window. The primary bedroom suite has a wall of organized closets, light strips, and additional storage options over the closet space. The bathroom offers a double bowl vanity and improved lighting. The second bedroom, which has south exposure, has newer recessed lighting and an efficient closet system. The hall bathroom is adjacent to the 2nd bedroom. The lofted room on the fourth level is private from the primary bedroom below and can be used as a home office or bedroom. The tranquil space has a shelving system along the expanse of the room. This room is also the gateway to the rooftop deck with its wonderful south exposure and newer Trex Select deck. The other flexible space is on the entry-level and has a wall of open shelving and cabinets. Think of this space as your office, guest room, or exercise space. Laundry and a half bath are also here, with access to the one-car garage. An outdoor parking space off the alley comes with the unit. Upgrades include: improved lighting with efficient LED fixtures throughout, all smart switches (Lutron Caseta), Nest thermostats on all levels, wired ethernet is throughout the home, a new roof in 2021, and all newer windows.
