About this House

Incredible penthouse duplex-up condo in Bucktown.

Great location, on a beautiful tree-lined street. Close to Holstein Park, the CTA Blue Line Western Stop, highway, the 606, Damen Ave, Target, Marianos, etc.

The unit features 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a bonus office/den which could act as a 3rd bedroom. The unit is bright and sunny with contemporary, high-end finishes throughout. Views of downtown from the master bedroom. The 1st floor includes an open kitchen, living room/dining room, half bath, and a second bedroom with its own private bathroom and balcony. Upstairs is a large master suite with a luxurious bathroom and enormous walk-in closet, in-unit laundry, and a bonus room - perfect for an office or nursery. The upstair ceilings are beautiful. Since the unit is on the top two floors and taller than the surroundings buildings it's super private and lives like a home. The unit is in a charming, 3-unit brick walk-up that has been recently remodeled. Bamboo floors. Two balconies! One covered garage parking included.

Asking $4,200. Seeking a responsible tenant. Available mid to late September, the existing tenants will move out on the 1st and am hoping to pain and do some upkeep. Unfurnished.

I privately own and manage the condo and lived here for 3 years before having to move to California for work. It's such a great place, you'll love calling it home. Look forward to hearing from you!

    "Amazing, family-friendly, community that feels tucked away from the hustle/bustle of the city. Warm, welcoming neighbors filled with kids and dogs. Great neighborhood hang spots and places to eat as well as an array of shopping. Very central to the city with easy access to transportation options. 5 minute bike from the Salt Shed music venue as well!"

    "Sketchy, always delayed, dirty and crowded.. I’ve seen things on the blue line no one should ever have to witness (especially before 8am). 0/10 would recommend but it’s the cheapest and quickest way to get to the loop. Lots of folks are always hanging around the stops, and I’ve stepped off the train a few times only to find myself in the middle of a crime scene. Literally.. a crime scene. "
