Nestled in the treetops, this sun-drenched, pet-friendly top-floor corner 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in SE is a private oasis where serene sunset views, refreshing summer lake breezes and vintage charm delight your senses. Lovingly owned by the same person since the building's 2004 condo conversion, this third-floor walk up (no elevator) will have you at hello once you set your sights on the high ceilings and jumbo open floor plan LR/DR. Add to that an inviting gas fireplace, elegant French doors, Juliette balcony, gorgeous crown molding, giant bay windows and pristine hardwood floors. And central AC! And in-unit laundry! Off of the LR and on the other side of stained glass, is a butler's pantry with ample storage that leads you to the lovely kitchen. Down the hall, the first bedroom is a jewel box that can also be an office or study, thanks to the built-in custom California Closet shelving. The second bedroom can fit a king-size bed and is currently set up as an office and workout area. Do you hear the primary bedroom calling your name? With enough space for a king-size bed, couch and more, you'll love making this your end-of-day landing pad. The sunrises fill the space with soft light most mornings. The marble ensuite full bath rounds out the unit. Out back, you'll find the most inviting fenced shared patio space, complete with a grill, table and chairs and couches and more small seating areas scattered throughout. Very well maintained building 3 blocks to Lee Street Beach, blocks to the El, Metra and the bus. Across the street from Lincoln Elementary and a short walk to Nichols Middle School -- and also to coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries, bookstores, boutiques, grocery shopping (Jewel, Trader Joe's, Binny's and Whole Foods) and more! **Ask the listing agent about available parking for rent across the street.
