Property Description

Exceptionally well-maintained all-brick duplex-down in the heart of Wicker Park, offering thoughtful upgrades, timeless finishes, and major recent investments that significantly reduce future ownership costs. Built in 2006 and set within a well-run boutique building, this expansive 3-bedroom, 3-bath home lives like a private residence, offering multiple living spaces, ATTACHED garage parking, and abundant storage. The main level features rich hardwood floors, elegant coffered ceilings, and a beautiful living room anchored by a Juliet balcony and fireplace. A spacious, highly functional kitchen serves as the heart of the home, offering generous cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a substantial island with wine storage, and an adjacent large dining area, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Two spacious bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, including a serene primary suite with excellent closet storage and a fully remodeled primary bath (2023). The spa-inspired bath showcases a new dual-sink vanity, updated lighting, a separate soaking tub, and a stunning walk-in shower with two-tone tile, built-in bench, and refined finishes. A second main-level bedroom is served by a full hallway bath.

Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with an extra-large rear deck offering ample room for dining and lounging, plus the convenience of an attached walk-out garage and additional storage locker. Beyond aesthetics, this home stands out for its significant recent investments: new, high efficient furnace and air conditioning (2024, both with 10-year warranties), new ejector pump (2024), new humidifier (2023), new garage door opener (2024), new lower-level carpeting (2024), and a fully remodeled primary bath (2023). Building improvements include extensive masonry and roof work completed in 2025, with an estimated useful life of over 10 years-providing peace of mind and long-term value. Ideally located just steps to Wicker Park's dining, shopping, and transit, this move-in-ready home offers quality construction, smart upgrades, and a level of care that is increasingly rare, allowing the next owner to enjoy the home without the need for major future investment.
