Property Description
Set in sought-after Southport Corridor, this beautiful brick end-unit townhome offers the space and privacy of a single-family home with an incredibly convenient city location. Thoughtfully designed this impeccable residence combines generous living spaces, abundant natural light and multiple outdoor areas. Bright and open living and dining rooms feature hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace and oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. The open chef's kitchen features an extended peninsula with seating, center island with additional storage, abundant counter space and a built-in desk. Sliding doors lead directly to a private rear deck, making outdoor grilling and dining a breeze. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, two separate double closets and a spa-like bath with dual vanity, soaking tub and separate tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms each feature plush carpeting and ample closet space and share a full hall bath with a tub/shower and skylight that brings in natural light. The large lower-level provides even more flexible space as either a 4th bedroom or family room, with hardwood floors and sliding doors opening to a patio with new Trex decking, and mature landscaping for added privacy. A laundry closet with built-in storage shelving, half bath, and generous closet space complete the lower level. The attached two-car garage offers valuable extra storage, while the private fenced driveway provides additional parking and a safe space for play or outdoor enjoyment. Recent improvements include a new hot water heater, new dishwasher and new roof, adding to the home's move-in-ready appeal. All of this is set in an ideal Lakeview location near the shops, boutiques and restaurants of the Southport Corridor, only a block from Whole Foods and Target and convenient transportation options nearby, including easy access to the Brown Line.
