Description

Extra-wide, all-brick, and flooded with natural light, this 4 bed / 4.1 bath West Loop townhome delivers 3,200 sq ft across four well-appointed floors - plus an attached 2-car heated garage with EV charging and a block-away address to top-rated Skinner School. The ground floor opens to a generous family room with a full bath - equally at home as a guest suite, playroom, or private office. The second floor living and dining room centers on a gas fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors, flowing into a newly renovated kitchen where removed walls have created a wide-open, connected space.Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and an oversized island make this a kitchen built for real entertaining - and a private balcony just off the kitchen is ready for morning coffee or evening grilling, equipped with a gas line. Three bedrooms, two full baths, laundry, and a tucked-away computer nook fill the third floor. The entire fourth floor belongs to a primary suite of exceptional proportion - a peaceful bedroom retreat, a custom walk-in closet designed for two, a marble bath with separate shower, and a private rooftop terrace that earns permanent favorite-spot status. The mechanicals match the finishes - two new top-of-the-line Carrier furnaces and a new hot water heater mean the big-ticket items are already done. The association is exceptionally well run with over $2M in reserves and assessments that have decreased two years in a row. Rare financial confidence in a market where that's never guaranteed. Outside, Fulton Market's restaurant row puts Michelin-starred dining, craft breweries, rooftop bars, and thoughtful retail within easy reach. Mary Bartelme Park hosts farmers markets, movie nights, and warm-weather festivals. The Morgan CTA Green and Pink Line station is steps away, with quick expressway access beyond.
