Jameson Realty Group:
DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE-DUPLEX CONDOMINIUMS ABOUND IN CHICAGO
CHICAGO-Condo buyers looking to double their living pleasure may choose from over a dozen duplex condominium developments being marketed by Jameson Realty Group in the city.
The company is currently offering a wide array of new construction and renovated duplex condominiums in an assortment of North Side developments in Rogers Park, Ravenswood, Albany Park, Andersonville, Ravenswood Manor and Margate Park.
"Condominium shoppers looking for the space of a single-family home without the maintenance can choose from a large selection of duplex residences," said Charles Huzenis, president of Jameson Realty Group, which is currently marketing a collection of duplexes in a mix of Chicago neighborhoods.
In a duplex, you can get more living space, Huzenis said. "Also, because the floor plan has two levels, the master bedroom and secondary bedroom or den are on one level while the kitchen and dining and living rooms are on another. This allows for extra privacy," Huzenis said.
"Duplex condominiums also provide residents with a nice separation of space. Residents can live and entertain in their common areas-kitchen and living, dining and family rooms-and have the bedrooms on a separate level," Huzenis said.
Another lure of the duplex is that it feels like a single-family home with maximum space but without the maintenance, he said.
"Duplexes also offer the conveniences and security of a condominium with the expanded space usually found in a townhome or single-family home," Huzenis said. "Duplexes are the perfect choice for all types of buyers, from empty-nesters to younger couples and growing families."
Many of the duplex condo developments are housed in older courtyard buildings and smaller apartment properties. Although the walk-up courtyard buildings were built years ago, today's vintage condo-conversion developers typically offer major refurbishments in duplexes such as new electrical and heating systems as well as new bathrooms and kitchens.
"Duplex condo buyers want new kitchens with granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, marble baths, refurbished hallways, new windows, upgraded roofs and mechanical systems," Huzenis said. "And, all of our duplexes have top of the line products."
Still other duplex condominiums sport new construction, some with modern architecture and others with Old World-style architectural influences. Like their vintage counterparts, all of these duplexes feature new interiors with all the amenities, Huzenis said.
