Uniquely drenched in sunlight and overlooking a park with mature trees and a play-lot, this beautifully maintained and tastefully updated end-unit townhome will not disappoint. Light-filled on 3 sides and set back from Chicago Ave. this townhome offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, plus the convenience of an attached 2 car garage. As you enter at ground level, there's a spacious family room with hardwood floors that is currently configured as a home office with a full bath on the same level. This versatile space can easily serve as a third bedroom or private guest suite. This level also connects to the attached 2 car garage. Upstairs, the main floor features an open-concept layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The modern kitchen boasts abundant counter and cabinet space with a large peninsula including bar stool seating and newer stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen, the first of three outdoor spaces provides the perfect spot for grilling or enjoying your morning coffee. The adjoining living and dining areas showcase hardwood floors, a cozy gas fireplace, and, thanks to the desirable end-unit location, an extra wall of windows that fills the home with abundant natural light while overlooking McGowen Park. This is the best "I Unit" location in the whole complex. On the bedroom level, you'll find the primary bedroom, a second bedroom, and a shared full bathroom with double sink vanity. This floor also features the second outdoor space-a 39' private terrace with new Trex decking, it's ideal for container gardens, herbs, or a relaxing outdoor retreat. The upper level offers a generous 10' x 7' laundry and storage room, along with interior access to the rooftop. A newer tear-off roof provides the perfect setting for the rooftop deck, also with new Trex decking, making the third outdoor space an incredible extension of the home. Located just steps from the South Boulevard CTA "L" station and a short distance to the Metra, commuting is effortless. Enjoy quick access to Lake Shore Drive, while Lake Michigan, South Blvd Beach, neighborhood parks, Lincoln School and Evanston's vibrant collection of restaurants, breweries, shops, and entertainment are all just moments away. This exceptional home offers the perfect combination of style, flexibility, outdoor living, and an outstanding location. Plus, low assessments. Welcome home!
