Property Description

Sunny and unique duplex down in East Lakeview! With a flipped floor plan, this home has all three spacious and bright bedrooms on the first floor with the kitchen and living areas located below. The sellers removed the previously space inhibiting staircase and replaced with a practical (and climbable) spiral staircase to maximize both living space and light. They added crown molding throughout, replaced the railings and encapsulated the support beams with classic natural wood. The large kitchen boasts a double oven, pantry, brand new wine fridge, newer refrigerator, and excellent cabinet storage and counter space. In addition to the sellers adding a window to the back door, a newer east facing Anderson picture window lets a ton of light into the lower level. With a dining and living room, you will have plenty of space to spread out. Washer/dryer is also newer. All three bathrooms have been updated with new vanities, hardware, and light fixtures. The downstairs powder room is especially roomy and convenient. This home has a generous private deck off the primary bedroom which opens onto the enormous, rare to the city, communal backyard! Storage cage and bike room included. Located just a block from the cherished Nettelhorst school and steps from fantastic restaurants, public transportation, the lakefront, and retail. This is a stellar home in a stellar East Lakeview location. Zoned street parking or rental options nearby. NO DOG building.

Explore Lakeview East

A unique and eclectic north side neighborhood brimming with independent businesses, artistic minds, and a vibrant LGBT population - Lakeview East has it all. World-class nightlife, community-mindedness and serene lake views make this district the ideal home for young families, recent grads, creative professionals, and everyone in between. Lakeview East's location along the water is one of the neighborhood's signature qualities. Lake Michigan's beautiful beaches and lakefront trails give way to Belmont Harbor where Chicagoans store their yachts and sailboats between excursions. An off-leash dog beach allows our four-legged friends to run free and a bird sanctuary is the main stopover for our feathered friends flying south for the winter. The housing in Lakeview East is a marriage of high-rise residential buildings, vintage condos and rehabbed lofts, with an assortment of single-family homes thrown in the mix. Off the neighborhood side streets are block after block of restaurants, bars, retail, theaters, and other businesses. In the summer months Lakeview East is flooded with a full calendar of art festivals, outdoor markets, garden walks, and the very popular Chicago Gay Pride Parade.
