Tucked just steps away from the heart of Andersonville, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom condo tells a story of care, comfort, and quiet refinement-written by its original owner and now ready for its next chapter. From the moment you step inside, the warmth of newly refinished hardwood floors underfoot and the soft glow of fresh paint on the walls greet you like an old friend. Sunlight pours into an open-concept living space anchored by a brand-new gas fireplace, its hand-rebuilt mantle inviting books, photographs, or a glass of wine after a long day. The smart thermostat has already adjusted the temperature just right. The kitchen, reimagined in 2024 with sleek new countertops and backsplash, opens naturally into the main living area-perfect for quiet mornings or hosting dinner with friends. Just beyond, a private deck awaits. Outfitted with a TV and space to lounge, it’s your own outdoor retreat for movie nights under the stars or catching a Cubs game al fresco. Downstairs, the primary suite is a true haven. Dual vanities, a jetted Jacuzzi tub, and the sense of separation from the rest of the home offer daily escape. Two additional bedrooms provide space for guests, children, or creative pursuits, while the fourth room stands ready to become a home office, reading room, or formal dining space-whatever your lifestyle demands. Closets throughout the home were custom-designed in 2023 for efficiency and beauty, a reflection of the meticulous attention that has gone into every detail. The lower level, newly carpeted in June 2025, offers yet another cozy space to retreat or entertain. And the perks go beyond the unit itself. With one dedicated parking space and easy, permit-free street parking, coming home is always easy. Shared rooftop deck offer sweeping views and space to gather, while your own private rooftop storage room means you never have to sacrifice on space. And the location? It’s as ideal as it gets. Just steps from the newly rebuilt Argyle Red Line, across the street from a peaceful park, and around the corner from an award-winning Montessori school. In minutes, you’re in the heart of Andersonville, surrounded by boutiques, bakeries, and the kind of community people seek for a lifetime.
