Not your typical 2 bed / 2 bath, this one stands out for its scale, layout, and natural light from the moment you walk in! Bright northwest corner unit with floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping the main living space, delivering incredible afternoon light and open neighborhood views. The layout is intentional, with bedrooms set apart from the living area and a wide, gallery-style entry that adds both presence and function. The living and dining spaces are well-defined yet open, easily accommodating a full seating area and a proper dining setup without feeling crowded. The kitchen is clean, bright, and highly functional, featuring full-height cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized peninsula with seating that works for everyday use. It opens directly to the dining and living areas, creating a seamless flow. The primary suite is tucked into its own wing and offers exceptional space for a king bed, work-from-home setup, and additional seating, along with a true walk-in closet with custom built-ins and an en-suite bath featuring double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. The second bedroom is positioned on the opposite side of the home, ideal for guests, office, or both, and also includes a walk-in closet. The private balcony extends the living space and is the width of the unit, large enough for dining, grilling, and lounging-with open, tree-lined views. Storage is a major differentiator, with multiple in-unit closets plus a private, oversized walk-in storage room in the building-exclusive to Unit 605 and one of the largest in the building-measuring approximately 5' x 15' (75 SF) with 9.5' ceilings and custom shelving, along with bike storage of only $10/year. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry closet with custom shelving, deeded tandem garage parking for two cars included in the price, and newer mechanicals including A/C (2024) and furnace (May 2026) for added peace of mind. All North-facing windows were replaced in 2016. Located in a highly accessible pocket with easy access to the Brown Line, Trader Joe's, parks, and the restaurants and shops of North Center, Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Roscoe Village, Lake View and Wrigleyville.
