Welcome to Chicago's West Town neighborhood! We are extremely excited to present 511 N Bishop Ave. Why? Because it is such a rare opportunity to own a Fee Simple, end unit townhome. First off, what does Fee Simple mean? Fee Simple means you own the sub-ground, the land and the air rights outright... no association similar to single family home living. Outdoor living is the most incredible thing about owning this property, which includes a side yard. Just imagine maybe gardening or kids/pets playing. Inside the home you will find three levels. The main living space is partially duplexed which creates a separation of spaces made popular during the pandemic yet maintains the integrity of the open concept. The duplex also creates high ceilings in the eat-in kitchen; which also features abundant cabinet space, ample counter space with black granite counters throughout, and a stainless steel appliance package. Most people love indoor / outdoor living and the patio off the kitchen flows if you were to host a summertime party. Head up a half flight of stairs, and one will find themselves in the living room / dining room area. Floor to ceiling windows flood the area with natural sunlight. A gas starter, wood burning fireplace is nestled in the corner of the room to provide ambiance without being the main focal point of the home. On the top floor is a split floor plan style bedroom arrangement where interchangeable ensuite rooms provide the most amount of flexibility with the primary suite. Both bathrooms upstairs have been renovated with the one featuring white marble herringbone, styled accent and floor tiles; sleek gray veined, marble shower tile; gold accents, and walk in shower. In the lowest level, the perfect flex space is provided - make it a bedroom, family room, game room, TV room, office? Your decision. A half bath is in the lower level! The statement piece of this home comes when you take a spiral staircase up to the roof top. There, you will find a private rooftop deck that is the only unit in the complex that looks down the backyards to unobstructed views of the famous 'Chicago Flags' and Chicago skyline. Just one more thing.... it has an attached one car garage and a parking pad out front! Whether you are or are not familiar with this location, most people love the West Town neighborhood. The reason is simple and it stems from convenience! Step out the door and access all of the restaurants on Chicago Ave or head down the street to River West or West Loop. Imagine walking over to Salerno's for old school pizza, sitting at Bar Sienna's patio or getting lost in the forest and sipping a cocktail at Beatrix. An insider tip to a hidden gem in the neighborhood is the Mart Anthony which is a cozy little corner space for Italian.... and it has a surprise back patio. Outside of great food experiences, most people love that you have access to transportation, grocery stores, gyms, etc. Essentially this property is accessible to everything you would need in an urban landscape and it comes in a residential neighborhood feel. As always, we want to help you live your Chicago Lifestyle. Come set up an appointment to view your next home and explore what West Town has to offer.
