Description

Welcome to this wide and spacious duplex down - a unique and interesting antidote to all of those long and narrow 2 bedroom places you have been seeing. This property is fun and versatile and has been used as a starter home, family home and investment property. The historic, all-brick building was originally converted to a condo building in 1999. The current owners purchased it in 2004 and it remained owner-occupied until the end of 2013. However you decide to use the home, it shines because of its 15 foot ceilings and two walls of south and east facing windows, which let in a ton of natural light. The main upstairs living space lends itself well to a living/dining combo and the kitchen opens to the same. The rest of the first floor boasts 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. If you head to the lower level you will be surprised by another living space, half bathroom, in-unit laundry and 3rd bedroom. There is also ample storage in the lower level. The building itself has a common roof deck for everyone to enjoy and summers spent grilling and watching the planes fly in for the Air & Water show are second to none.

The neighborhood is fantastic with new restaurants, shops and other retail spaces always on the rise, but is also home to some classics like Roots Pizza and West Town Bakery. There is a Chicago Avenue bus stop right at the corner of Chicago & Wood, less than 1/2 block away from the unit. You can easily access the CTA blue line at either Division or Grand. Access to 290 expressway and medical district is also quick & easy. While street parking has rarely been a problem, this unit comes with a dedicated exterior parking spot in back, which only the south units in the building have. While this unit has been a rental/investment property since 2013, it has been well-loved and cared for by the owners. The hardwood floors that exist throughout the first floor were refinished in 2018; the kitchen appliances were replaced at that time as well. There was a new A/C unit installed in 2019 and a new hot water heater was installed in 2023.
