Experience elegance & sophistication in one of East Lakeview's absolute gems. Completely redesigned in 2012 by James Thomas, this stunning duplex up penthouse with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths truly lives like a single family home, coupled with the conveniences of a condo, and adorned with some of the city's most exclusive outdoor living spaces. Expect to be impressed with its incredible attention to detail, numerous windows featuring bright exposures, and timeless finishes throughout. This expansive (over 4500 sq ft) floor plan offers 4 bedroom suites on the main level (with all newer baths!) and tons of flexibility providing for a sophisticated, yet comfortable lifestyle. The kitchen was reconstructed to create a more open entertaining environment with professional grade appliances, oversized island, custom white cabinetry, & marble countertops. Off of the kitchen is a caterer's kitchen that offers complete functionality & tremendous storage, along with an adjoining laundry room. Serene primary suite is generous in size & luxury including dual walk-in closets & recently refreshed spa-caliber bath with separate vanities, oversized walk in shower, private water closet, & decked tub. Top floor features 5th bedroom and bath, along with an outstanding family room outfitted with custom wet bar that opens directly to one of the city's best rooftop terraces. Over 2000 sq ft of elevated outdoor space has been designed to accommodate all aspects of outdoor living, including separate yard/sports area. In addition to this outdoor paradise, this intimate building features a huge park-like common yard. This home also comes with a private gym and additional bath on the ground floor, which could easily be repurposed as a remote office space or nanny's quarters. Plentiful additional storage, a well run association, and a private 2 car garage with 2 additional parking spaces plus guest parking. Tremendous location in the heart of East Lakeview with immediate access to the lake, the park, Nettelhorst Elementary, transportation, nightlight, retail, and so much more. An opportunity not to be missed!
