Welcome to 638 W Oak Street in River Village, a beautifully renovated, south-facing townhome filled with natural light, three private outdoor spaces, and access to the community's private 1-acre park. Enter through a welcoming foyer with porcelain tile and radiant heated floors, plus a flexible first-floor bedroom or office overlooking a gated front patio. Upstairs, the fully renovated kitchen has been opened to the main living area and features custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a striking Madreperola quartzite waterfall island, along with a balcony just off the kitchen, perfect for grilling. The expansive living and dining space offers oak hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and the added bonus of a powder room, rare for the community. The bedroom level includes two generously sized bedrooms with custom closet systems, and a renovated primary bath with double sinks and a large walk-in shower, along with a refinished secondary bath. At the top, a large Trex rooftop deck showcases sweeping city views and includes a small flex space ideal for an office or reading nook. Additional highlights include an attached 2-car garage and thoughtful renovations throughout. Located just steps from the Riverwalk, Chicago Water Taxi, River North dining, shopping, and transportation.
