A home should feel effortless-a place where the layout, the space, and the design work beautifully for everyday living. This townhouse delivers exactly that. Though listed as a townhome, its generous 2-story + basement layout lives like a single-family home and offers a remarkably low monthly HOA of just $35-covering only a shared insurance policy. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home includes a semi-finished basement and thoughtful updates throughout, with the basement featuring a 9-foot ceiling height that enhances the sense of space. The main level features an open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, hardwood floors, and recessed lighting. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary bedroom with large closets, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The semi-finished basement provides a large family room, laundry area, ample storage, and rough-in plumbing for a future bathroom. Additional highlights include a Nest thermostat and built-in technology that supports efficient heating and cooling year-round, along with the option to purchase select furnishings. Enjoy a fully enclosed paver backyard perfect for entertaining. The home sits on a quiet residential street with abundant parking and includes one assigned side parking space. Its location is ideal-near beautiful Humboldt Park, just blocks from the 606 Trail, close to Division Street's restaurants and nightlife, steps from direct transit to Navy Pier and downtown, about a 20-minute drive to the city center, and approximately a 15-minute drive to the future Bally's Chicago Casino and Hotel complex scheduled to open in late 2026.
