The neighborhood is bustling with shops and restaurants, while parks and athletic facilities provide abundant recreational opportunities. Within walking distance of UIC and public transportation, and with easy highway access, this neighborhood suits a variety of needs.

Nestled in a quite enclave of brick homes, 1461 S. Sangamon, Unit J, is a stunning end-unit townhouse. Its meticulously-planned 3,200-square feet of living space offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two half bathrooms. Recent upgrades throughout the home make this unit a showcase that is move-in ready.

As soon as you walk in the entrance on the first floor, you can see the new hardwood floors that flow throughout the home. A first-floor family room (16x13) includes a fireplace with stone surround. A sun-lit sitting nook in the turret features park-like views to the trees and green space on the lawn. An office (8x7) on the first floor has a large window and closet, making this room a great place to work from home. A first-floor powder room and linen closet provide convenience. The level of the home also includes a coat closet and access to the home’s two-car garage, which is large enough to include abundant storage space.

The second floor living space is perfectly planned for today’s lifestyles. An open living room (20x17) boasts two balconies and a granite-surrounded fireplace. The eat-in kitchen features 42-inch cherry cabinets, 1¼-inch granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a five-burner stove. French doors lead to the dining room (15x11), which is filled with light from large windows. A second floor powder room has been newly remodeled and includes a pedestal sink and tumbled stone flooring and wainscoting.

The third floor is a quiet retreat for the home’s three bedrooms. The incredible master suite (16x15) is spacious enough to provide for a sitting area in the turret of the home, and a large walk-in closet is impeccably organized. The master bath has been recently remodeled and has a soothing spa feel with tumbled stone floors and wainscoting, a soaking tub, a separate shower and two vessel sinks accented with capiz shell chandeliers.
