Welcome home to this charming and spacious residence in a vintage all-brick boutique six-unit building, ideally situated in the heart of Uptown. Located on the second floor, this home seamlessly blends timeless character with thoughtful updates while offering an exceptional floor plan for both everyday living and entertaining. Enter through a gracious foyer complete with a large coat closet, setting the tone for the generous living spaces throughout. The inviting living room features a gas fireplace, custom built-in shelving, and abundant natural light. Just off the living room, elegant French doors open to a versatile third bedroom or flex space that functions perfectly as a home office, den, or nursery. This room leads directly to a large covered patio and includes a built-in Murphy bed that will remain with the home. The primary bedroom offers excellent closet space and direct access to a beautifully appointed full bathroom with a tub and shower combination. A second generously sized bedroom features its own ensuite full bathroom, creating the ideal setup for guests. The oversized formal dining room is perfect for hosting dinner parties and holiday gatherings, providing a rare dedicated entertaining space. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring two-tone cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and an abundance of storage and prep space. Just off the kitchen, a second private outdoor deck provides the perfect setting for grilling, outdoor dining, and entertaining. Additional highlights include a dedicated outdoor parking space, large private storage locker in the basement, and a well-maintained, financially healthy building with a recently replaced central boiler system. Air conditioning is provided through window units. Enjoy an unbeatable location backing directly to the park and just moments from the lakefront. This exceptional Uptown location offers easy access to the lakefront trail, beaches, neighborhood parks, public transportation, and an incredible selection of restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and nightlife that make this one of Chicago's most vibrant communities.
