Description

Welcome to your classic 1890's single family home in a great neighborhood of the Southeast Side of Chicago. A 3-level A-frame with a large rear concrete patio for entertaining and a detached brick 2-car garage. There are 3 bedrooms/1 bath on the main level, and 2 additional rooms on the lower level that could be used as bedrooms. Also a living room, another full bath, and a kitchen on the lower level. The home is masonry-built and wood-framed with siding. An open floorplan with sweeping archways and the "original" oak base boards and moldings, linking the living room to the dining room to the kitchen effortlessly. The spacious living and dining rooms have a light wood laminate flooring throughout, while the expansive kitchen has custom ceramic flooring with plenty of counter space, stainless steel appliances, an eat-in radius island, and an all-purpose workstation space for (your baking needs, the kids doing their homework, or a bar for entertaining). The kitchen has a large butler's pantry with plenty of storage for food, supplies, and your kitchen gadgets. Each of the 3 bedrooms on the main level have new carpet. The full bath was upgraded in 2019 with new shower surround, vanity, toilet, and flooring. The rooms have 9-ft ceilings and each of the 3 bedrooms, dining room, and kitchen have ceiling fans. The lower level can be used as an entertaining space, a play space for the kids, a home office area, or even an in-law suite, as it has its own separate living space with a kitchen and a full bath. Also features a washer/dryer, large closet space, and lots of storage. There is a 8x10 storage room at the front of the home and another 7x20 storage space at the rear of the home. This space leads out to the concrete patio with cedar fences on both sides of the yard for your privacy. The roof on the home and the garage have been replaced with architectural shingles and this spacious upper level has 2 new Velux skylights, just waiting for your future master suite design. Other upgrades include: new roof on 2 car garage (2021); new front porch and rear porch completely rebuilt and composite decking (2021); new water heater (2019); new cedar fence system at the rear of the home (2019); new boiler system and tank (2018); new electric panel upgrade (2009); new copper plumbing in kitchen (2009); new vinyl windows in kitchen and walk-in pantry (2009). You have Marsh Elementary CPS 1 block away. Many great restaurants, activities, and shopping in the area. Nearby expressways (I-94, I-57 and Lake Shore Drive), the Chicago Skyway, very close to the Indiana border for additional shopping and restaurants. Can be in downtown Chicago or Northwest Indiana in minutes. Neighborhood park (Vets Park) 1 block away, and a massive park at Lake Michigan (Calumet Park), just a mile away.
