3003 W Montrose Ave. #2A, Chicago, IL 60618

A slice of heaven in Horner Park! This 3-bed, 2-bath condo in a meticulously updated vintage building offers an abundance of flexible living space, hardwood floors throughout, and access to not just one but THREE outdoor areas. A foyer with huge double closet provides a warm welcome at the front entrance, leading directly into the sun-filled, open floor plan living room and kitchen. The updated kitchen, which features a trayed ceiling, hits all the marks: Gleaming white cabinets, classic subway tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances (check, check and check!), and the living room has built-in media shelving and custom window treatments. The first bedroom, just off the main living area, makes an ideal home office, sweet nursery or guest room, while just a few feet down the hall is the in-unit washer and dryer (new in 2020, along with the water heater, too!), and the second, sizeable bedroom, which has a spacious closet. First full bath features a ceramic tile tub/shower combo and a modern vanity and fixtures. Primary bedroom has double closet with Elfa-brand built-in shelving organizers, along with an ensuite bathroom with ceramic tile shower and pedestal sink. A unique feature of this already standout property is a mudroom off the hallway, which leads to a wraparound deck that spans the entire back side of the unit, with two separate areas simply made for grillin' and chillin', respectively. These elevated outdoor spaces directly off the unit overlook the absolutely gorgeous, communal, interior courtyard of the building, strung with twinkling lights and collectively (and lovingly) maintained by residents (green thumbs are welcome to join in on planting flowers and the veggie garden every spring!). All this, plus: Basement storage space, ceiling fans in every room, newer windows and abundant street parking in a neighborhood packed with cool restaurants, shopping and other conveniences - just a few short blocks to the sprawling green space of Horner Park. Self-managed HOA is proactive in maintaining the property (roof and tuckpointing updates were recently completed) while keeping monthly assessments low. A truly special condo in a one-of-kind building and community!
