Quietly nestled within a tree-lined, residential street across from award-winning Burley Elementary school, this 3-bedroom, 2.1 bath, incredibly special duplex is the perfect home. 1 garage parking space is included in the price. A true rarity in duplexes, all three bedrooms are conveniently located on the upper level, allowing this condo to live more like a single-family home. Thanks to southern exposures, this home is bathed in abundant natural light, warming the space on even the coldest Chicago winter days. The main level features an open floor plan, solid 3/4 inch red oak hardwood flooring, and a gas fireplace. The kitchen offers ample cabinet and counter space and Bosch, LG, and GE 2019 stainless steel appliances. A custom-built, floor-to-ceiling dry bar offers high-end white cabinetry with crown molding, integrated dual-zone Frigidaire wine coolers, a premium dark granite countertop, and custom display shelving. Between the open-concept main floor and a deck situated directly off the kitchen, entertaining is seamless. Whether you're firing up the grill or hosting a dinner party, the transition from the kitchen to the grill and dining area is completely natural. A powder room and laundry room with 2025 LG appliances complete the space on the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a large bedroom with picture windows, a walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and an ensuite bath with marble counters, a jetted tub, separate shower, and dual vanity. Across the hall, the amply sized secondary bedrooms share a full hall bath with tub/shower. The private roof deck is a true sanctuary with uninterrupted views of the Chicago skyline. Fully built out with turf, a playlet, roof lighting around the perimeter, and dedicated zones for lounging and dining, this is the perfect space to entertain or relax. From family movie nights under the stars to sunset dinners, it provides the rare "backyard" experience in the heart of the city. Ideally located within a short stroll of Whole Foods, Jewel-Osco, Foss Swim School, Doppio Coffee, restaurants, shopping, transportation, and all the neighborhood has to offer. With access to Burley school's massive turf field, modern playgrounds, and track it's like having a world-class park as your front yard. For sports fans, living within walking distance to Wrigley Field makes catching a Cubs game or enjoying the Gallagher Way festivities incredibly simple. Welcome home!
