Experience treehouse living in this distinctive home less than a block from Grant Park. Step inside to high ceilings and an expansive open layout on the main floor, with a separate dining area, a dream kitchen with abundant storage, and a massive, sunny living room with a cozy gas fireplace opening out to a private deck towering three stories high, making you feel like you're living high in the treetops. Grab dinner and a cocktail directly across the street at Ziba's Bistro, a local favorite featuring outdoor dining and occasional live music. The living areas and primary suite are filled with natural light throughout the day. Downstairs, three bedrooms provide quiet retreats with generous closets. The primary suite pampers with a walk-in closet, whirlpool tub, and your own secluded balcony overlooking the trees. The lower level offers excellent storage space and walks out to a parking area. Don't miss the loft on the third floor - perfect for an office or den! Outside, you'll find easy alley-access parking and a community fire pit area. Recent upgrades include a new HVAC system, mini-split unit in the loft, fresh paint, lighting, bathroom fixtures and smart home switches. This gem has been lovingly maintained, with beautiful updates throughout. Low HOA fees, a laid-back association, and great neighbors enhance the appeal. One unit is currently rented long-term, so this opportunity is for owner-occupants seeking a unique, low-maintenance retreat surrounded by nature.
