Welcome to this sun-filled, renovated 3-story townhome in the heart of Lakeview, tucked away in a quiet, gated, tree-lined community near Margaret Donahue Park. This end-unit home lives like a single-family-fee simple with no monthly assessments-and is the largest in the complex. South-facing windows fill the space with natural light and offer views of charming School Street. As you enter the ground floor, you'll find a large family room/recreation space with a half bath, large separate laundry room, great storage, and a 2-car garage with additional storage above. This level is easily used as a 4th guest bedroom + office. The 2nd floor is drenched in sunlight with an open kitchen with white cabinets, quartz counters, and a J Boos Walnut Butcher Block island. The kitchen flows into a sunny dining room, and a cozy living area with nice bay windows, a gas fireplace, and beautiful custom built-ins. The 3rd floor has a sought-after layout with three spacious bedrooms up, and two full baths. Enjoy outdoor living with a large deck off the kitchen and a private front yard bordering the park. Walk to Southport Corridor, Wrigley Field, and highly acclaimed Hamilton Elementary.
