Rare 0.2-acre lot in Archer Heights, more than double the size of a typical Chicago lot. This brick raised ranch offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and the parking and outdoor space that's hard to find in the city. A huge concrete driveway fits up to 6 cars and leads to a heated 2.5-car attached garage with a second overhead door in back for easy access to the yard. The fenced backyard is wide open, with room to garden, play, or entertain, plus a storage shed. Inside, hardwood floors run through the living room and all three bedrooms, and the east-facing living room gets great morning light. Eat-in kitchen, updated full bath, and a full basement with a second full bath, laundry, and rec space. Solar panels on the home. Close to Strohacker Park, Jewel-Osco, and the Pulaski Orange Line, with Midway Airport about a mile away. Sold as-is.
