Full of classic Chicago character, this distinctive two story brick home immediately stands out with its elevated setting, prominent bay window, and impressive 49 foot wide lot. Offering over 1600 square feet above grade, plus a finished lower level, this beautiful home provides a surprisingly spacious and flexible layout with room to live, gather and grow. The main level features a bright living room, separate dining area, kitchen, guest bedroom and full bath, along with a sunroom that extends along the south side of the home and adds even more usable space. Upstairs is where this home really surprises. The hallway features two large closets, with option to convert one into another full bathroom. There are two exceptionally spacious bedrooms, including an impressive primary bedroom with a large walk in closet. The finished lower level adds another layer of versatility with a second kitchen, family room, two additional rooms, a full bathroom with stand up shower, laundry and utility areas, plus separate exterior access, ideal for related living, guests, home office needs, hobbies or simply additional space to enjoy. Property is zoned and offered as a single family home. Outside, the 49' x 124' lot is truly something special. The home's elevated position and extra wide yard create a sense of openness rarely found on a standard Chicago lot, with plenty of room for gardening, entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. Multiple entrances provide convenient access between the home and yard, and a detached garage completes the property. The longtime owner has continued to invest in the property, with improvements including a new house roof (2020), garage roof and siding (2021), copper plumbing and lower level bathroom improvements (2022), plumbing updates to the laundry and utility areas, main level vanity (2022), front sliding patio door and sunroom/rear porch siding (2023), and an updated north side mudroom/porch with new wood stairs, siding, window and screen door (2025). Previous tuckpointing to the sides of building provide another important maintenance improvement. Located steps from Riis park which spans 57 acres, The Brickyard shopping center, near CTA Bus Lines, only 1.3 miles to Mars Metra Rail, and terrific neighborhood restaurants, this is a home that offers much more than meets the eye. An extra-wide lot, substantial living space, flexible multi-level living and years of thoughtful maintenance come together in a home ready for its next chapter.
