719 W Montrose Ave. #1W

A natural wonderland of 1,000+ acres are yours to discover with Montrose Beach located a mere stroll away from this elegant 3-bedroom, 3-bath 2055 square foot duplex condominium-a rare find in the heart of Chicago's bustling Uptown-Buena Park neighborhood. With real oak hardwood floors and high ceilings, this vintage treasure was recently restored to combine contemporary and classic for the best of both worlds. A wood-burning fireplace of subtle blond brick leads the eye into the spacious living room and adjoining sun room surrounded in windows. Opening onto the primary space is the master bedroom with modernized closet fixtures and pocket door to the understated master bath with natural stone flooring, oversize shower stall and double shower-head. The second bedroom ensuite is accessed beyond the formal dining room (with bay-style windows) leading to the 2-part galley kitchen. There you'll find floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, discreet Corian countertops and extra butcher block-style prep space, newer stainless steel appliances, wine fridge and garbage disposal, with room for a kitchen table overlooking the lovely back garden for families and friends of this historic 6-flat residence. Yet another fireplace with separate working oven for your wood-fired cooking adventures adorns the home's lower level, where you'll descend into a carpeted open rec room, third bedroom/office space, and full-size bathroom with marble floor, deep soaking tub and "dry rock" sauna for two. Extra closets and storage room complete the lower level, with direct access to the dedicated washer/dryer. Monthly parking available one block south at 4300 N. Clarendon.
