This classic Chicago 2-unit has so much historical charm that just doesn't exist everywhere! The thick cove moldings, curved doorways, original hardwood floors and doors plus original hardware throughout allow you to keep that connection with the craftsmanship of yesteryear and still room to craft into a property that is also uniquely YOU. Something that instantly sets this apart from the rest of the block is size - yes, size does matter! You gain a beautiful sunroom space on both the first and second floors. Check out the aerial photography and you'll see what I mean. From the main floor, the deep set front porch keeps you protected from the highs/lows of Chicago weather. Once inside, you're able to access the first floor or second floor from the open foyer. The first and second floors are 2BD/1BA units with the 3-floor an open loft space that could be converted to add to 2nd floor. We'll go ground up and tour the first floor starting in the living room. You'll instantly see the charm of the historical features when you walk in! With a full bank of front windows, the light pours into the space. Continue through to the spacious dining room that has hosted many fantastic dinners through the years and is ready to host your gatherings, too! The first floor kitchen offers eat-in space plus some counter space for 2 barstools as well. Plus you have a DEEEEEEP walk-in pantry, which is RARE space in a building of this age. Oh, and closets, closets, closets galore especially in the basement! Morning coffee, evening wind down, or an office - this is a tranquil spot with lots of natural light. Upstairs you have the identical floor plan and even an outdoor patio space! Head up one more floor for opportunity for the new owner - this well-insulated open 22x58 loft space could be finished out to make a 3-unit. The 3-floor is accessed only by the rear stairs where the 2nd floor has 2 sets of stairs. Have we mentioned the dumbwaiter?! The basement has space where you can store stuff for every holiday and every holiday can pretty much have it's own closet because there are so many. There's a cheery kitchenette, a family room, and a wood/work shop space, too. In case you didn't have enough space inside, the property offers MORE space outside for relaxing and storage, too. The backyard has outdoor turf, which can easily be replaced or removed, depending on the buyer's preference. The 2-car detached garage (rebuilt 15 years ago) is perfect for keeping those infamous Chicago snows from burying your vehicles. Access is easy to/from the alley as well. It's your opportunity to own this historical charmer! Close to parks, hospitals, and lots of local favorite stops! This property will be for conventional or cash offers only; please no FHA as this property is being sold AS IS. There is a handicap spot in front of the house that could be transferred. Boiler only is 5 years old.
