Welcome to 1400 W. George St. #3

Considering a Lakeview lifestyle? The Southport Corridor is that full experience. Not only does the CTA Brown line offer a less hectic commute to your day job, nights & weekends are also jam-packed with walk-to-it options. Shop the newly refurbished Jewel, nosh at the nearby Southport Grocery & Café, knock down pins at Southport Lanes, jam the latest bands at Schuba's, taste & rate the latest hot spots like Coobah. Then, saunter back to your own urban treehouse. This duplex-up delivers 360º views of leafy green treetops w/surprising privacy between buildings. Ascend the entryway stairs to the main level met by a soaring 2-story, vaulted ceiling. The formal living room is grounded in tradition from the oak millwork surrounding a gas & wood burning fireplace, natural oak floors w/cherry accent border to the plantation blinds & substantial oak doors. A grand, open view of the studio/loft draws the eye upward. But first, continue a tour of the main level. A hall powder room features soothing marble throughout. The master suite has 2 walk-in organized closets, handsome crown molding & a bath equipped w/jetted tub, separate shower & double vanity. The heart and hub of the home is the combo kitchen/dining/family room, ideally designed for modern entertainment. This great space offers the intimacy of an additional gas fireplace & effortless flow to the outdoors w/a walk-out deck, extending your cooking & entertaining options. A suite of S/S GE Profile appliances beautifully contrasts w/pecan colored cabinetry replete w/drawers, bookshelves, built-in pantry & pendant lighting. Beveled granite countertops dress an island w/double-sided cabinet storage. The 2nd level begins w/a dramatic open studio/gallery, borrowing light from 3 exposures below & multiple skylights above. The grand oak staircase continues a faithful use of natural oak flooring throughout the home. A substantial 2nd bedroom & attached bath offers an alternative master suite given the organized walk-in closet, & well-appointed bath w/separate shower, oversized jetted tub. The 3rd bedroom is a bright, cheerful space equally suitable as an office or workout room. French doors—one from the 3rd bedroom & one from the hallway—lead to a private sundeck that also connects to the larger deck on the main level below. Audio wired throughout & a security system includes enabling pads on both levels. Other notables--side-by-side GE W/D, custom blinds, ceiling fans, several operable skylights & one garage space.
