About This Home

As of August 2021

*Offers Due Sat 6/19 @ 7pm* Rare find in Montclare: brick bungalow with 2nd floor in-law suite! Located on a residential block just northeast of Grand & Oak Park Ave, this well maintained home has been in the same family for decades and provides so many options and flexibility for its new owner to use it for related / multi-generational living or to reconfigure the 2nd floor into a more traditional single family layout. The 1st floor lives like a spacious bungalow with a massive 12x28 "front room" that should be formal living & dining areas, directly behind which is the eat-in kitchen (sorry, the seller is attached to the fridge and it will be going with him) - while a great space, it could use some freshening / lightening up and potentially could even be opened into the front room while you're at it. A full bath and two bedrooms complete the main floor, one of which has a tandem bonus room perfect for... office? walk-in closet? play room? You decide! The 2nd floor apartment is delightfully sunny and cozy with an eat-in kitchen at the back, living room at the front, and two bedrooms & full bath dormered in between. The basement adds an add'l 1,177 sq feet of usable space and was the scene of some wild neighborhood parties in its hey day with a retro bar and wide open rec room along with laundry, workshop, storage, and half bath (apparently there's shower plumbing roughed in but owners never completed that project). Out back you'll find a nice sized yard and detached garage with screened patio, perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Well loved, but it's time for this family to move closer to the grandkids, which means it's your opportunity! In great shape but sold as-is. Don't miss the 3D tour!
