Timeless design and truly in the heart of it all, this 3 bed/2.5 bath Old Town condo is turnkey, transitional living at its very best with all 3 bedrooms on the 2nd level (instead of the basement like most duplex downs). Located in a 2 unit elevator building on a charming residential stretch of North Park Avenue, this luxurious 2,550 sq ft property lives like a single-family home. The open-concept living/dining room features high ceilings, gorgeous crown molding, espresso hardwood floors, custom drapery and amazing natural light courtesy of oversized windows. Past a presentation-worthy powder room, the main level continues with a gorgeous, all-white entertainer's kitchen with custom cabinetry by Downsview, quartz countertops, Wolf/Sub Zero appliances, and a large island with seating for 3. Open to the kitchen, the family room can accommodate a large sectional and features a gas fireplace with direct access to the 275 square foot private deck with ample space for alfresco dining, a grill, and an additional seating area. The raised deck also links to a rare city backyard that butts up to an ivy-covered green wall for even more amazing outdoor space. Upstairs, the second level reveals two, stylish secondary bedrooms (either of which could be set up as a stellar WFH office), a beautiful full bath, and a spacious primary suite with excellent light, two walk-in closets, and a stunning en-suite bath with a dual vanity and a large, glass-encased steam shower with a bench. This home also comes complete with a fully finished, basement-level rec space that can flex to serve as a home gym, a media room or a playroom. Additional details and amenities include designer light fixtures, custom closets, surplus storage, Marvin windows throughout, second-floor laundry, heated floors in the basement, and a heated attached garage space with a heated driveway. Design-forward and move-in ready, not to mention close to Lincoln Park, the Green City Market, the lakefront, fabulous restaurants and shopping, 1538 N. North Park Ave., Unit 1, is luxury, low-maintenance living with every possible comfort - and the convenience of a Near North address.
