This 3-bedroom duplex is a gem of a find in Chicago—a family-friendly home that is a gorgeous mix of history (the unit is situated in a converted church) and modern comforts. The unit itself is modern and bright without feeling sterile thanks to the abundance of hardwood floors and exposed brick as well as a wood-burning fireplace.

The location of the property is also fantastic, as it’s located on a quiet street in the heart of Lakeview, so you’re walking distance to some of the best restaurants, cafes, and entertainment in the city, not to mention a stone’s throw from Wrigley Field (Go Cubs!). And for anyone with children, the home is in the district of Nettlehorst Elementary—a top-rated CPS elementary school in Chicago.
