About this home

MULTIPLES RECEIVED. SATURDAY OH CANCELLED. Sunny and unique duplex down in East Lakeview! With a flipped floor plan, this home has all three spacious and bright bedrooms on the first floor with the kitchen and living areas located below. The sellers removed the previously space inhibiting staircase and replaced with a practical (and climbable) spiral staircase to maximize both living space and light. They added crown molding throughout, replaced the railings and encapsulated the support beams with classic natural wood. The large kitchen boasts a double oven, pantry, brand new wine fridge, newer refrigerator, and excellent cabinet storage and counter space. In addition to the sellers adding a window to the back door, a newer east facing Anderson picture window lets a ton of light into the lower level. With a dining and living room, you will have plenty of space to spread out. Washer/dryer is also newer. All three bathrooms have been updated with new vanities, hardware, and light fixtures. The downstairs powder room is especially roomy and convenient. This home has a generous private deck off the primary bedroom which opens onto the enormous, rare to the city, communal backyard! Storage cage and bike room included. Located just a block from the cherished Nettelhorst school and steps from fantastic restaurants, public transportation, the lakefront, and retail. This is a stellar home in a stellar East Lakeview location. Zoned street parking or rental options nearby. NO DOG building.
