Property Description
Lincoln Park's best-kept secret! This rare fee-simple Willow Rowhome offers the space and feel of a single-family home-at a condo price-with no HOA! Perfectly tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from Armitage Avenue restaurants and boutiques and the Clybourn Corridor's Apple Store, Whole Foods, and Red Line. Beautifully updated and move-in ready, this charming tri-level home features three sun-filled floors, two private outdoor spaces, and a heated attached 1.5-car garage with two large storage closets. The curb appeal is undeniable with its all-brick exterior, newer hardscaping, windows and custom fencing, and timeless white plantation shutters. Inside, no detail was spared (see the full list of improvements under "additional information"). The designer kitchen is a standout with seamless black honed granite counters and classic farmhouse sink. Other highlights include: rich walnut hardwood flooring throughout // wood-burning fireplace with built-in bookcases // custom millwork and moulding // renovated primary bath // and marble guest bath with walk-in shower. The entire top floor is an expansive primary suite oasis complete with a walk-in closet, LG washer/dryer, luxurious en suite bath with skylight and designer lighting, and a serene private terrace nestled among the treetops. All this just steps from Starbucks, Trader Joe's, Jayson Home, CB2, Alinea, Steppenwolf Theater, and both Red and Brown Line trains. Truly a hidden gem in the heart of Lincoln Park. WELCOME HOME.
