Strong curb appeal welcomes you to this Chicago duplex townhome! Pull up to the front, and you'll notice a black, wrought iron gated fence surrounds the yard, continuing along the side to the back alley and your detached two-car garage. A new tear-off roof tops this residence, which is loaded with even more upgrades inside. Set at the rear of its brick building, your three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath unit includes a patio and balconies off the dining room and the third bedroom. Inside, it's been kept in mint, move-in-ready condition from beginning to end! Neutral tones continue throughout the spacious rooms of the floor plan, and abundant natural light flows inside through large windows and a skylight above the staircase to the upper level. Upgrades include new windows, a new furnace, a new hot water heater, a new washer/dryer set, fresh paint and new ceramic tiling. Step inside through the steel entry door to the tiled foyer, where fresh paint in neutral colors tops the walls and a staircase leads up to the main living area or down to the family and laundry rooms. Carpeting fills the spacious living and dining rooms, where custom treatments top the new picture window and new sliders. This space opens easily to the adjacent dining room, creating a bright, open feel throughout. This generous dining area features a chandelier above the table area and sliding glass doors to the balcony and the yard. Enjoy everyday cooking in the neutrally decorated eat-in kitchen, a well-equipped space with easy-care laminate countertops, abundant oak cabinets with raised-panel doors and hardware, a stainless steel double sink and a fanlight. All the appliances stay, including a new white refrigerator, a three-year-new stove/oven and a new dishwasher. In this well-designed layout, there are three comfortable bedrooms, all carpeted and complete with custom double closets. The master, set on the upper level, boasts a full-wall double closet with organizers for convenience. In the third bedroom, sliding glass doors open to the upper balcony, so you or guests can step right outside! Like the kitchen, the main bathroom comes with new ceramic tiling, and it further boasts a ceramic shower/tub combination and a white single vanity with a full-length marble countertop, complete with a makeup area with room for a seat below. There's also a half bath that continues the new ceramic tiling and boasts a single vanity of its own. Downstairs, the full, finished basement houses the fully carpeted and spacious family room, which boasts two picture windows with sliders on either side, providing scenic views of the backyard to enjoy. Filled with durable vinyl tiling that continues from the hall, the spacious laundry links off of the family room. It includes its white Frigidaire washer/dryer, a utility sink and a full wall of five shelves. There's also a large storage area adjacent to the new furnace and new 40-gallon hot water heater. Around back, the yard is half grass and half patio, set between the building and the detached garage. In this building, the only shared expenses with the other unit are the roof (which was just replaced), brick maintenance and the water bill. There are no monthly assessments! Set in Chicago's established West Rogers Park neighborhood, this property enjoys easy access to highways, universities and lots of shopping choices. It's less than 10 minutes to the lakefront and Loyola Beach, as well as within 20 minutes of Lincoln Park Zoo and North Avenue Beach. Call now!
