Behind a classic Lakeview facade, this expansive duplex-down lives with the comfort and scale of a single-family home while offering the ease of boutique condo living. Spanning more than 2,500 square feet, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence was thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, with beautifully connected spaces, timeless finishes, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The main living level is anchored by a warm and inviting gathering space complete with hardwood flooring, custom built-ins, and a wood-burning/gas fireplace that adds character and ambiance throughout the seasons. The renovated kitchen blends style and function with granite countertops, updated cabinetry, designer lighting, stainless steel appliances, a striking backsplash, and a built-in champagne and wine trough that creates a true entertainer's experience. Just beyond, oversized doors open directly to the private deck-an ideal extension of the home for dining al fresco, summer gatherings, or quiet morning coffee without needing to pass through a bedroom. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility and privacy, with generously sized bedrooms, updated baths, and newly installed carpeting in 2025. The secondary bath was completely renovated, while the primary bath has been tastefully refreshed with updated fixtures and finishes. Additional improvements throughout the home include custom built-in shelving, stained hardwood floors, tuckpointing, exterior sealing, and a brand-new deck completed in 2024. Set within an intimate three-unit building with garage parking and additional storage, the location places you in the heart of one of Chicago's most vibrant neighborhoods-perfectly positioned between the Brown and Red Lines, moments from Southport Corridor shopping and dining, two blocks from Wrigley Field, and approximately one mile from the lakefront. The result is a home that combines generous living space, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable lifestyle in the center of Lakeview.
