Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath townhouse in the heart of East Lakeview, offering a private, tucked-away setting just steps from the Lake Michigan shoreline. Lives like a single-family home with all three bedrooms and two full bathrooms conveniently located on the second level. Thoughtfully updated throughout, featuring brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring on the main level with a charming brick wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm and inviting living space. The stunning, gut-renovated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, showcasing timeless white cabinetry, a classic subway tile backsplash, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated vent hood. The sun-filled primary suite enjoys southern exposure, peaceful treetop views, and a beautifully renovated ensuite bath with timeless finishes. The recently renovated hall bathroom features an oversized walk-in shower and sophisticated design details. Generously sized secondary bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility, with one offering direct access to a private balcony-perfect for morning coffee or a bright work-from-home space. The finished lower level offers a spacious family room with endless possibilities for recreation, media, fitness, or guest space, along with a dedicated laundry and utility room providing abundant storage. Outside, enjoy your own private oasis with a beautifully landscaped, brand-new brick paver patio, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, and enjoying Chicago summers. The attached one-car garage offers exceptional versatility with room for parking, a workshop, or additional storage.
