About this home

Oversized two bedroom, two and a half bath end unit townhome at Harbor Square. This sunlit home has so much to offer; light oak hardwood floors throughout, generous room sizes, and two flexible spaces that work as offices, workout rooms, or play spaces. The main floor has a large living room and formal dining room separated by a double sided wood burning fireplace with gas start. The sunny kitchen features white cabinets and open shelving, an island with room for seating, and a large, well-organized pantry. An office separated by elegant French pocket doors and an updated powder room round out the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite features a large bathroom with two vanities, whirlpool tub, separate shower, and large organized walk-in closet. The second bedroom leads out to a balcony overlooking Mark Twain park. A third room next to the primary bedroom makes a great second office, workout room, play room, or nursery. The hall bath has a shower tub combo, and full size stackable laundry is conveniently located on the second floor. Attached one car garage with storage, plus a driveway for a second car. Located in the rear of this rare gated complex, one side of this home looks out on an attractive, well-landscaped courtyard, and the other overlooks charming Mark Twain Park, with southern exposure providing great year-round natural light. Well-managed association with good reserves. Assessments include exterior maintenance (including windows, doors, and roof), cable, and internet service. With easy access to multiple parks, Northerly Island, Grant Park, Soldier Field, Museum Campus, and numerous South Loop restaurants, this home is an oasis in the heart of the city. Easy access to all expressways, Lake Shore Dr, and Red/Green/Orange El lines. Coveted South Loop Elementary District. Pet friendly with several dog parks nearby!
