About This Home

As of August 2024

The owner fell in love with the views out the living room window walls in 2021 and immediately guttted and redid the kitchen with custom built cabinets and copper on every surface she could find. She then redid the bathrooms into spa quantity spaces. She moved in full time with two daughters. Still wanted to change the roof to improve the street view that bothered her and redo the steps to the lower level walk out area. She replaced the HVAC. Then life changed and she had to return to the Chicago suburbs. So you can pick up from where the current owner has improved the house for just 50k more than she paid in 2021 before she invested a lot more tahn that in improvements. Just a 2 Chicago Block walk to Lake Michigan sunsets. Homeowner beach near. Free parking at City beach.
