Property Description
The one you have been waiting for! Bring your contractor and your vision to this stately, JUMBO brick 2-flat nestled in Edgewater/Andersonville! Situated on a massive 37.5 ft wide lot on one of Magnolia Glen's prettiest tree-lined blocks, this property offers STUNNING potential! Approximately 1500 sq. ft. per floor with 9' ceilings and over 7' tall basement! The ORIGINAL owner/builder, E.R. Hodgenson, a noted early 20th century Chicago architect, had his office (with stairs leading down from the front entry) in the basement! Iron spot brown brick facade with classic architectural details: brick quoining, gothic inspired oak front door with ornate brass hardware and a HUGE covered front porch! Many vintage details intact throughout: art glass windows, oak newel posts and stairs, doors, lighting and original oak floors. Pretty side and backyard with mature yellow magnolia tree shading a paver patio next to a clean modern THREE car garage. The possibilities are endless: convert to a spectacular single-family home, create a luxury owner-occupied duplex, or renovate into two or three massive condos. Located just blocks from Hollywood Beach and the entrance to the lakefront path, Whole Foods, Bryn Mawr red line and Lake Shore Drive. AS-IS sale.
