645 W Briar Place # 1

This 3 bed / 3.1 bath duplex down in the heart of East Lakeview offers the kind of layout, outdoor space, and recent updates that make it easy to move right in and stay a long time. The main level opens to a generous living area with tall ceilings and an easy flow into the newly renovated kitchen completed in 2024. The kitchen features quartz countertops with an ogee cut edge, quartz backsplash, a Delta workstation sink with Newport faucet, and a half-horsepower InSinkErator disposal all finished with fresh paint. A built-in pantry and peninsula breakfast bar round out a space that's as functional as it is sharp. Down the hall, the primary bedroom connects to one of the unit's two private outdoor spaces, Hunter Douglas blinds throughout, and a walk-in closet with custom shelving. The primary bath refreshed in 2025 with new paint, updated LED lighting, and a new whisper-quiet vent fan features a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. A second bedroom, updated full bath with new vanity and mirrored medicine cabinet, and a side-by-side laundry room complete this level. Downstairs, the family room is flooded with natural light and built for entertaining. Complete with a remote-controlled ventless gas fireplace insert, built-in wet bar, and a rare walk-out terrace with a newly installed bamboo privacy fence. A fully updated powder room and a private ensuite bedroom make this level as versatile as it is inviting. All of this on one of East Lakeview's best tree-lined streets where you can walk to Nettelhorst Elementary, the CTA Red/Brown/Purple Lines, Belmont Harbor, Whole Foods, Wrigley Field, and everything the neighborhood has to offer. Pet friendly, too.
