Description
Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of West Town, this duplex penthouse delivers a rare combination of dramatic design, indoor/outdoor living, and everyday functionality. Step into this bright and airy home featuring soaring ceilings, sun-drenched skylights, and an open layout. The main living space is highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace and tile surround, with plenty of room for both entertaining and dining. Just off the living area, there is a private terrace for your morning coffee. The contemporary kitchen is a showstopper, boasting white quartz countertops, beautiful backsplash, and premium KitchenAid stainless steel appliances and island perfect for hosting. An interior staircase leads to a lofted space which includes a perfect work from home space and dry bar with beverage cooler. From there, step out onto your own private rooftop deck – finished with trex decking, stunning views, and total privacy. The primary suite includes a double vanity, walk-in shower with bench seating, and a second private balcony that’s also accessible from the hallway. A comfortable second bedroom and updated guest bathroom make this a complete package. Additional features include in-unit laundry, hardwood flooring throughout, private storage, and tandem two-car parking. This well maintained 3 units building has healthy reserves, no rental cap, and is currently all owner occupied. All this just steps from some of the city’s best restaurants, shops, and cafes – with easy access to the Blue Line, multiple bus routes, and neighborhood gems around every corner.
