In the heart of the city in one of Chicago's "younger" neighborhoods Garfield Ridge sits this gem of a 1950's 3 bedroom brick bungalow. It has hardwood floors (under the carpet to the best of seller's knowledge) in the living room and 2 of the bedrooms, plaster walls with coved ceilings and kitchen with eat-in area. Basement was waterproofed for peace of mind. The furnace and central air are only 7 years young. Two car garage has a party door perfect for the upcoming summer entertaining months. Check out this low price and think of the equity you can make on your own. Walking distance to Wentworth park and a short drive to many others park districts. I think you will agree GR has a southside suburban experience, but the plethora of transportation modes puts them in touch with the downtown scene as the Loop district is just 12 miles to the north. Better hurry this won't last.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
