About This Home
As of December 2023Welcome to this charming Two-Flat in the heart of Forest Park, offering a unique blend of historical character and modern comfort. Located near downtown Forest Park and Oak Park, this property offers convenience and accessibility with easy access to Green Line trains, Metra, shopping, and a vibrant dining scene. ||| Built in the 1880s, this Two-Flat has a rich history, once serving as a speakeasy during the prohibition era. As you step inside, you'll be transported back in time by the tall ceilings, classic vintage trim, and a sense of nostalgia that permeates the upper floor. ||| Both units have been meticulously updated to meet the demands of the 21st century. Each unit boasts central air, a furnace, a water heater, and an in-unit full-sized washer and dryer, ensuring modern comfort and convenience. The kitchens are thoughtfully designed with stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave), ample cabinetry, and solid stone countertops, making them a joy for any home cook. ||| The second-floor vintage unit is a spacious three-bedroom featuring two full bathrooms. The entire unit underwent a complete rehab in 2015 with all-new electrical, plumbing, and gas lines. The granite countertop kitchen, laundry room, and one bathroom is equipped with heated floors, and the 9-10 foot ceiling height, coupled with natural wood trim throughout, adds to its unique character. ||| The first-floor unit offers two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, also rehabbed in 2019. This unit features a primary suite with bathroom, a cozy fireplace, and an expansive kitchen with envy-worthy countertops and cabinets. ||| Both units provide private exits to the fenced-in rear yard, where you'll find a lush lawn, a well-tended garden, and a welcoming patio with a fire pit. The main unit entrance is connected by a charming (heated and cooled) breezeway from the side entrance, adding to the property's charm. ||| Parking is a breeze with 5-6 spots in the rear of the building, a significant advantage considering Forest Park's restriction on overnight street parking. ||| The basement, while unsuitable for living space due to ceiling height, offers ample storage space. Whether you're downsizing or just looking for extra storage, this basement allows you to review and preserve your cherished belongings carefully. ||| Don't miss the chance to own this historic yet modern Two-Flat in Forest Park, offering a unique blend of character and convenience in a prime location. It's an ideal investment opportunity or a place to call home with a touch of nostalgia and all the amenities of today. Please note this is an AS-IS sale.
