In the heart of the city's sought-after River West neighborhood, this elegant 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath townhome in a gated boutique community lives like a spacious single family with 3,000+ square feet of exquisitely-updated space. On the main level, expansive living and dining areas feature 10-foot ceilings, newly refinished walnut-stained hardwood floors, a dramatic new fireplace and oversized windows with lots of natural light. The chef's kitchen has abundant storage with 42-inch cabinets, new stainless appliances and new quartz countertops including a large waterfall-edge island with plenty of extra space to work and comfortable seating for three. The luxurious primary bedroom is enhanced by customized wall coverings, a stylish tray ceiling, and a tasteful en suite bath with dual vanity, soaking tub and roomy dual-head walk-in shower. The additional top floor living area includes a wood-burning, stacked-stone fireplace and opens to the private rooftop deck where you'll enjoy ample room for al fresco relaxing and entertaining. The ground floor has new tiling and features a new walk-in wine cellar, a full bathroom and an outdoor space. Other recent updates throughout this meticulously-maintained home include fresh carpeting upstairs, a resurfaced roof and new windows throughout installed in 2019. The home has dual-zoned cooling and heating and a 2 car attached garage. This is a unique opportunity to have extra space in such a central accessible location - ideally situated between all that River North, Wicker Park and the West Loop have to offer. This is fee simple so short term rental could be possible.
