Property Description

Nestled away in University Village, just off of Halsted Street, on a leafy and secluded pedestrian-only walkway, is this spacious 2BR + Den/Office, 2.1BA, red brick townhome with four levels of living space. Step through the front door and into a welcoming foyer that opens to a Den/Office with a gorgeous custom walnut built-in desk and bookcases, and could be enclosed to create a 3rd bedroom! The open concept main level on the second floor is filled with natural light (thanks to the unobstructed south view!) and hardwood floors throughout. The living room features a gas fireplace with adjacent shelving nooks, and plenty of space for a dining table and chairs and bar stool seating at the kitchen peninsula. This kitchen is well equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, newer backsplash, and a center island for meal prep and entertaining, plus a balcony with a gas hook-up for a grill. Unlike many townhomes, this one features a rare powder room on the main level! Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with newer carpeting and fresh paint, and two baths. The primary suite comfortably fits a king size bedroom set, has a wall of closets with custom organizers, and a great en suite bath with double vanity, dual shower heads, and a linen closet. Perched on the top floor is the dog house with extra storage, leading to the private roof space with gorgeous skyline views. Own this home with the peace of mind knowing the furnace, AC and water heater have all been replaced within the last 3 years. Not to mention, this home has an attached 2 car garage! The location here offers exceptional urban living. Transportation is made easy with Halsted CTA buses right outside the door, Metra, and quick interstate access. Convenient and walkable, the area has multiple coffee shops, restaurants, parks, playgrounds and pet areas surrounding it. Enjoy some of the best dining round the corner on Maxwell and Taylor Streets. Vibrant energy with The University of Illinois Chicago campus at the foot of this complex. Close proximity to everything the West Loop, Little Italy, Pilsen, and Greektown have to offer!

Explore University Village

Italian ice,the origins of the hotdog and backpack-toting college students are just a sampling of the rich cultural backdrop of this near southwest side Chicago setting.University Village/Little Italy is a union of two separate communities that have merged as one, bringing the best of both worlds to a single Chicago neighborhood. The University of Illinois Chicago campus instills a collegiate sensibility with faculty and students milling about, while the blocks of Little Italy present a much quainter appeal with friendly front stoops occupied by groups of neighbors gathered to chat. Much anticipated Little Italy street festivals and holiday parades give community members even more reason to congregate, along with throngs of other Chicagoans who come to partake in the fun. Lying catty-corner to the Chicago Loop, this neighborhood's proximity to the bustling city center is convenient, without marring the area's characteristic Old World charm. A quick ride on the Blue Line Eltrain or a short trip on the Eisenhower Expressway will get you right downtown in minutes.
