In the heart of Margate Park, this exceptional 3,000 square foot home is ready for its new owners. Immaculately maintained and lovingly updated, it features a variety of unique spaces for comfortable city living and entertaining spread across two levels, plus a large communal garage roof deck and private brick garage parking. As you enter the home, you are greeted by a light-filled south-facing sunroom overlooking tree-lined Carmen Avenue. In the comfortable living room, enjoy winter nights by a working wood-burning fireplace (with gas starter) - a rare find in a condo! The first of the home's two bedroom suites is on the main floor, featuring a no-expense-spared 2023 bath remodel with custom double sink cabinetry, steam shower, heated floors, smart toilet & bidet, Brizo fixtures, and a massive true walk-in closet and dressing-room with Elfa shelving. The hallway powder room was also re-done in 2023 with smart toilet & bidet and custom granite sink. The unusually spacious true chef's kitchen has a full line of newer Thermador stainless appliances, including a 6-burner range with hood, wall oven, warming drawer, microwave, and dishwasher. LG full-size washer & dryer are tucked conveniently away, along with two large pantries. Perfect for either dinner parties or weeknight cocktail hour, the kitchen overlooks a spacious dining area and sitting room, with a bar area and wine fridge. Also adjacent to the kitchen is another sun-filled room perfect for working from home, homework space, or even additional kitchen prep. Down the wide custom staircase you will find a cozy but spacious den for movie nights or play time, with a 2019 gas fireplace, plus wet bar and beverage fridge. The home's second bedroom suite is also on the lower level, with another walk-in closet and double bathroom accessible from either the bedroom or den, with both shower and tub. The lower level is rounded out by a third interior bedroom for additional sleeping space, guest room, or office. Throughout the home you will find ample storage - every bedroom has a walk-in closet - and the comfort of dual-zone HVAC. The 6-unit vintage building is pet-friendly and exceptionally well-maintained, including a ~2-year-old roof and charming landscaping all around. Units this large rarely come on the market in Margate Park, an Uptown enclave with exceptional access to Lincoln Park green space and beaches, dining, shopping, and transit. Welcome home!
