3905 Gilbert Avenue # A

Light and privacy almost never come together — this corner unit is the exception. New energy-efficient windows, oversized and framing nothing but greenery, flood the rooms with sun while the setting stays quiet and screened from view. Even the new steel front door earns its keep, with privacy glass that adds security without giving up a bit of that light. Inside, high ceilings and hardwood floors set the tone, and a fireplace makes the cooler months easy. The kitchen and bathroom are both updated and move-in ready, the closet is roomy, and the washer and dryer are included. New French doors open to a private patio you can reach from inside or from the yard — outdoor space that's actually yours. There's even a hose around back for rinsing off the mud before you head in. And then the rare part: a covered parking space that's yours, plus off-street guest parking, so the people who visit you actually have somewhere to land. All of it a block and a half from Turtle Creek, right in the heart of Oak Lawn.
