Top-floor, no-detail-spared, and sitting right on Lincoln Square itself, this penthouse is the kind of home that makes you cancel your weekend plans just to stay in. South, east and west exposures wash the extra-wide floor plan in light from sunrise to sunset, and the downtown skyline shows up right where you want it: from your living room, your primary bath, even your own private balcony. The main living and dining area is built for real life: a fireplace for the cold months, a Juliette balcony and newer sliding glass doors for the warm ones, and enough open space to host without anyone standing in the kitchen doorway. And that kitchen means business: stainless appliances, a new range hood, stone counters and a wrap-around island with all the workspace a serious cook actually needs. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, with room to spare for a sitting area or a nursery, new carpet underfoot, and a custom ELFA closet that's as organized as you wish your life was. The ensuite bath is dressed head to toe in marble, with a double vanity, oversized soaking tub, multi-jet shower, bidet and heated floors. The second bath also gets heated floors, because comfort shouldn't stop at the primary. The guest bedroom brings hardwood floors and a full wall of closets, while custom 8' stainless entry doors and 8' interior doors carry that same quiet attention to detail through every room. Two parking spaces (one garage, one exterior), side-by-side laundry and no shortage of storage handle the everyday. Then there's the lifestyle part: your own rear balcony for the quiet moments, and a shared roof deck, a blank canvas with sweeping downtown views, just waiting for someone to make it spectacular. And the location doesn't get more Lincoln Square than this. You're steps from the Brown Line, the Farmers Market, The Book Cellar, Merz Apothecary, Neighborly, The Chopping Block, Gene's Sausage Shop, Timeless Toys, Savory Spice Shop, Davis Theater, Artango, Jerry's & Geraldine's, and Willow Cafe & Bistro. This isn't just a great condo, it's a great life, already in progress.
