Top-floor living doesn't get better than this. Perched above a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Lakeview, this sun-drenched 2 bed / 2 bath penthouse is the one you've been waiting for. With soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and bay windows, natural light pours into every room - morning coffee here hits different. The open-concept kitchen is equal parts beautiful and functional, featuring crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, updated pendant lighting, a fresh tile backsplash, and a layout that actually makes cooking enjoyable. Pull up a barstool at the island or spread out in the eat-in dining area - there's room for both. The inviting living room centers around a gas starter fireplace that makes winter nights genuinely cozy, with enough space to entertain or simply unwind. Both bedrooms now feature newly installed hardwood floors, adding warmth and polish throughout. The primary suite is a true retreat - spacious walk-in closet and a spa-worthy ensuite with a walk-in steam shower. The second bathroom was updated in 2019 with a marble vanity, custom tile, and tub/shower combo. Step outside to your private back deck and you'll understand why the owners call it an oasis - completely nestled in the tree canopy, it feels worlds away from the city while still being steps from everything. In-unit side-by-side washer/dryer, one garage parking spot, extra storage, and a new furnace (2019) round out the package. And the location? Hard to beat. Tucked between two train stops with easy access to the Red, Brown, and Purple lines, and a short stroll to the lakefront, Broadway, Farm Bar, Lincoln Avenue, and Southport Corridor - this is Lakeview living at its finest.
