641 W Willow St APT 145, Chicago, IL 60614

Tucked inside the gated and guarded community of City Commons, this is the largest five-bedroom townhome floorplan in the only secured townhome enclave within the Lincoln Elementary School district. Beyond the gates, beautifully manicured, park-like grounds create a true sense of calm - a private retreat just moments from everything Lincoln Park has to offer. The main level was thoughtfully reimagined to enhance flow and function. The kitchen was opened up and fully renovated with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a newly created pantry, and a bright eat-in breakfast nook that overlooks the landscaped grounds. The expansive living and dining space is anchored by a fireplace and built-in credenza, offering warmth and flexibility for entertaining. A powder room completes this level, and the laundry was relocated to the first-floor bedroom for added convenience, enhanced by a laundry chute for seamless everyday living. Upstairs, the third-floor hallway was expanded in 2021, creating improved circulation and a more open feel. Generously sized bedrooms feature organized closets, while the primary suite stands out with multiple closets including a walk-in, custom built-ins, and a beautifully renovated Carrara marble bath with a double vanity and steam shower. A second full bath serves the additional bedrooms on this level. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a large family room, second fireplace, wet bar, full bath, and substantial storage. From here, step directly onto the newly installed bluestone paver patio (2021), creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Above it all, the rooftop composite deck (installed 2021) delivers sweeping skyline views and an additional private outdoor entertaining space - a rare find in the neighborhood. This home offers multiple outdoor areas, two fireplaces, and two-car parking with an attached garage plus exterior pad. A Tesla charger has also been installed. Extensive updates provide true peace of mind: furnace, AC, water heater, refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, and disposal were all replaced in 2021; washer in 2019 and dryer in 2025. (Microwave excluded from 2021 updates.) The association is exceptionally well run, with HOA dues covering internet, cable, 24-hour security staff who receive packages, roof and skylight maintenance, year-round landscaping including seasonal flower plantings, and all exterior upkeep including railings and common elements. Surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes and just steps from the CTA, parks, dining, shopping, and nightlife, this is a rare opportunity to own the most expansive townhome in a secure, private community - where urban energy lives just outside the gates, and calm sanctuary waits within.
