Property Description
Stunning top-floor penthouse in the heart of Lincoln Square, offering a rare blend of space, light, and elevated city living. This bright and spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is defined by soaring 9-foot ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, and an abundance of natural light that creates an open airy atmosphere throughout. A beautifully appointed kitchen anchors the home with granite countertops, 42-inch maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a generous breakfast bar designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The expansive living area flows naturally for relaxation and gatherings, enhanced by two Juliet balconies that welcome fresh air and sunlight into the space.

Thoughtful functionality meets comfort with generous closet space throughout, a dedicated laundry room with full-size side-by-side washer and dryer, and a primary bathroom with marble tile featuring a Jacuzzi tub that offers a spa-like retreat at the end of the day. Practical luxury continues with two exterior parking spaces, tandem, and a private storage unit. Recent improvements include a new roof on the main building (May 2026). Unit improvements include two sets of French doors (2022), furnace, central A/C, hot water tank, and private deck roof (2021). Ideally positioned for effortless walkability to vibrant restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and transportation, offering easy access to downtown and O'Hare Airport. This move-in-ready residence captures the privacy of top-floor living within one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods.
