Description
Multiple offers received; highest and best due by Thursday at noon. Last showings by appointment only today between 11-2pm. Welcome to this unique 3rd floor penthouse in the heart of Uptown! Unlike a typical side-by-side 6-flat, this distinctive building features just three units at the front entrance, with this residence occupying the entire top facade-including both bays-for exceptional privacy and presence. Bathed in natural light from three exposures, this sun-drenched home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street and offers a rare combination of vintage charm and expansive living space. Hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by high ceilings, oversized rooms, and a private entry staircase that adds to the home's exclusive feel. The kitchen blends character and functionality with oak cabinetry, cool marble countertops, a stainless steel stove (2021), stainless dishwasher, and a double-bowl sink-ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The bathroom showcases classic railroad tile surrounding the tub, honoring the building's timeless appeal. Storage is abundant, with impressive closet space throughout and a massive private storage room in the basement. Step outside to your private, east-facing porch-the only exclusive outdoor space in the building-perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. (The second-floor deck is common and rarely used.) This unbeatable location is just a 5-minute walk to the brand new L stops at Lawrence or Wilson, a 15-minute walk to the Ravenswood Metra, or 2 minutes to the Lawrence bus (on those cold days) and just 6 blocks from the Lakefront! Enjoy Uptown's incredible nightlife scene, eclectic dining, shopping, and neighborhood conveniences just steps from your door. This rare penthouse opportunity offers space, light, privacy, and location-all in one exceptional home.
