Property summary
Fantastic investment or live-in opportunity in a historic building, fully upgraded to 2024 standards. This elegant 1899 limestone and brick building, with its meticulously detailed facade, offers a timeless charm. It starts with a 33 ft private entry parkway and extends to a 22 ft private garden, a rare luxury afforded by the 153 ft deep lot. This beautiful greystone, lovingly maintained and regularly upgraded by its owner. A legal 3-unit building, each with separate heating and cooling systems and individual utilities for each unit. Two of the units are rare 2-bed, 2-bath configurations, boasting in-unit laundry and spacious, separate living and dining rooms. The English Garden unit, a bright 1-bed, 1-bath space, also features in-unit laundry and ample storage. The property includes an oversized 2-car brick garage with abundant extra storage space, as well as additional interior storage cages for tenants. Step inside to discover vintage details that speak to a bygone era: a wood-beamed ceiling in the first-floor dining room, stained glass windows, a built-in cabinet in the second-floor dining room, raised ceilings adorned with crown moldings, baseboards, and wainscoting throughout. Antique mantel with a fully working gas fireplace, bookcases, and matching light fixtures enhance the character and charm of this home. Hardwood floors throughout. Two Skylights on the 2nd floor unit. Reconstructed 19 years ago, the building has seen numerous recent updates: new roof shingles in 2022, a new flat roof in 2020, new furnace and A/C units for the larger units in 2023, new furnace and A/C for the garden unit in 2021, an Electrolux washer/dryer for the second floor in 2019, a new hot water tank in 2017, front facade pillars replaced in 2024, major landscaping in front and back yards in 2008 and 2024, chimney rebuilt in 2021, and new aluminum windows in 2008. Regular maintenance includes biannual furnace and A/C cleaning, tuckpointing updates as needed, biannual gutter cleaning, annual dryer vent cleaning, and recent sewer scoping and cleaning. Nestled in the Sheridan Park Historic District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the neighborhood offers easy access to Andersonville, Lakewood Balmoral, Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Lakeview, and the lakefront parks, bike, and running trails. Just a 6-minute walk to the Wilson Red and Purple Line (0.3 miles) and a 17-minute walk to the Ravenswood Metra (0.7 miles), with multiple bus lines nearby, this location is a walker's paradise. Enjoy the proximity to coffee houses, diverse restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and the vibrant Uptown Entertainment District. This property is a remarkable opportunity, a blend of history but ready for 2024 living, move-in ready. All tenants are currently month-to-month. Great Airbnb candidate. Lots to love with this exquisite home.
