Property Description
Exceptional two-flat in Southport Corridor that exudes pride of ownership. This Chicago classic sits on an oversized lot and features two large 3 bedroom / 1 bath units with central air and 2 car garage parking. Located within walking distance of the best of Southport Corridor and Roscoe Village, these two units offer the ability to hold the property as a rental or owner-occupy. You'll enter this all-brick building through a side entrance with a vestibule bedecked with a classic mosaic tiling floor. The first floor unit offers beautiful original built-ins surrounding a wood fireplace, wood flooring throughout and a front sun porch. This unit also features 3 large bedrooms, one offering flexibility as a den / bedroom / office, complete with ample closet space and a bath. A very large dining room is capped off by a thoughtful kitchen with a large walk in pantry and built in eating area. The top floor offers a similar floor plan with the same built-ins and wood flooring throughout. However, this former owner's unit comes with in-unit laundry, 2 closets in the primary, an air tub in the bath as well as a heated towel rack. Additionally, the top floor unit's kitchen has been opened up to create a bright, light-filled kitchen and dining space. A walk in pantry off the kitchen is where the in-unit stackable laundry resides. An unfinished basement with laundry for the first floor unit offers extensive storage and the opportunity to duplex down the first floor unit in the future. Capping off this home is a large backyard space with grass and garden beds. Both units also come with garage parking in the detached garage off of the backyard. Ideally located in the Southport Corridor, this home offers easy access to public transit, the bars and restaurants in the area as well as the best of city living.
