Property Description
This all-brick two-story on S Wolcott Ave in Auburn Gresham is a rare chance to shape a classic Chicago home into exactly what you want it to be. The house still holds its original character throughout: a bay-windowed living room with crown molding, a formal dining room with a vintage crystal chandelier, and a kitchen with its original cabinetry and layout ready for a new vision. Upstairs, two bedrooms include a spacious primary with room to configure a sitting area or home office, plus one full bath. Outside, a full fenced backyard gives room to garden, entertain or simply spread out, a rarity this close to the city. Whether you're planning a full renovation or a room-by-room refresh, this one rewards vision. Sold as-is. Buyer to verify all information independently.
