Welcome home to this 2016 construction 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom duplex-down that masterfully balances vibrant city living with the spacious, quiet feel of a single-family home. Situated on a tree-lined street tucked away from the bustle, this all-brick intimate 3-unit building offers an exceptional layout designed for modern living and effortless entertaining. The main level welcomes you with expansive, sun-filled living and dining areas adorned with high ceilings and stunning hardwood floors, enhanced by newly added electric solar shades. The chef's kitchen is a contemporary masterpiece, boasting quartz countertops, premium wood-paneled appliances, white lacquered and dark engineered cabinetry, a breakfast bar island, a pantry closet, and a dedicated wet bar/beverage station. Transition seamlessly from the kitchen to even more living space and your private rear balcony. The lower level serves as a quiet sanctuary with cozy carpeting, heated floors, and a bedroom-level laundry closet. The generous primary suite feels like a high-end retreat, showcasing a massive walk-in closet and a spa-like en suite bathroom complete with a steam shower, soaking tub, double sink, and quartz countertops. Two additional spacious bedrooms easily accommodate queen-size beds, guest setups, or a dedicated work-from-home space. Every mechanical element has been meticulously maintained. This self-managed building boasts low monthly assessments and no upcoming special assessments (with fresh painting of the metal stairways already planned and covered for this summer). One secure, end-spot parking space in the carport is included. Location-wise, you are in a commuter's paradise with easy access to commuter buses and a short walk to the Division Blue Line stop for effortless trips downtown or to O'Hare. Enjoy all the best of Wicker Park and Ukrainian Village just outside your door.
