You'll be wonderfully surprised by this extraordinarily light, quiet and private townhome in an expertly maintained 2-unit converted factory building. Situated in an outstanding Lincoln Park/Old Town location right off the Armitage retail corridor, this 4-story, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath fee-simple home has no assessments and lives like a single-family home. Built lot-line to lot-line, the home's exterior is entirely classic Chicago masonry construction, originally built in the years following the Great Chicago Fire. Attached 2-Car garage and a bedroom-bath suite with built-in Murphy bed are on the entry level, the main level delights with 12' ceilings, an uninterrupted span with no columns, giant windows pulling in tons of natural light from the east & south, a 2-sided wood-burning fireplace separating dining and living room with custom built-ins. Updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, hardwood cabinetry and granite countertops with breakfast bar facing a giant picture window. Upstairs there are 2 full-baths, laundry, and 3 more bedrooms including a spacious, light-filled primary suite with two separate fully organized closets and en-suite bath with double-bowl vanity, a large shower, and separate jet tub with windows. One more flight up to a penthouse bar with access to a spectacular rooftop deck with nearly 900 square feet of truly unique outdoor living, showcasing unparalleled city views and built-out entertaining space. Truly unique space, vacant and move-in ready with tremendous potential to be adapted in unlimited creative ways.
