About This Home
Welcome to this charming and spacious brick bungalow located in the desirable West Lawn neighborhood of Chicago. This solid home offers 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, providing generous space for comfortable living and future customization. The main level showcases a welcoming open-concept living and dining area, highlighted by original crown molding and vintage two-panel doors that lend timeless character. The kitchen features tall ceilings, a large walk-in pantry, and convenient access to an enclosed back porch-ideal for extra storage or a cozy breakfast nook. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile finished space with a full bathroom that was previously used for related living and included a small kitchenette area (which can be converted back). This level can serve as an additional bedroom, home office, playroom, or expanded living area. With two staircases providing access and unfinished attic space at both the front and rear of the home, there's potential to further enlarge the finished square footage. The lookout basement is filled with natural light and includes a workshop, laundry room with gas dryer, and ample storage. Additional features include vinyl replacement windows on the main level, hardwood flooring under most carpeting, newer storm windows in the basement, and a dry basement system with a sump pump and overhead sewers. The property also includes zoned heating with a basement boiler and two separate hot water heaters-one for each level. Improvements include a full tear-off roof and oversized gutters with leaf guards and brand new siding on the entire second-floor dormer. A newer detached two-car garage provides secure parking and additional storage space. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, Midway Airport, and the Orange Line, this home offers easy access to downtown Chicago and the surrounding area. This residence is being sold as-is and presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer or investor to make improvements and add value. With thoughtful updates and TLC, this home has the potential to truly shine. Don't miss the chance to transform this solid West Lawn gem into your dream home!
