This is the one you've been waiting for: bright and spacious penthouse in a classic Chicago greystone set on a quiet one-way street in the heart of Lakeview East, just steps from the best of Halsted and Broadway. Located in the highly sought-after Nettelhorst School District, this expansive 3 bed, 2 bath home offers over 2,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed space and an incredibly rare two parking spots, including one garage and one covered, gated exterior space. The oversized layout lives like a single-family home, featuring a massive living area with room for both a family room (a cozy sectional will fit perfectly next to the wood burning fireplace with gas starter!) and a separate sitting or lounge space. A dedicated dining area flows seamlessly into the large kitchen, which features a skylight to soak the space in natural light, abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and an additional flex area perfect for a breakfast nook, home office, or play space. The primary suite is a true retreat with extensive closet space and a spa-caliber en suite bath complete with a large jetted tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms with professionally designed closets are conveniently located near the guest bath. Rounding out this amazing home is an extra large laundry room with plenty of room for storage. Enjoy outdoor living with a deck off the kitchen and exclusive roof rights, offering the opportunity to create your own private rooftop oasis. This top-floor home is filled with natural light and features soaring ceilings throughout.Recent updates include a new water heater (2022), furnace and A/C (2023), and washer and dryer (2025).
