6145 W 81st Pl.

In 1936, the rowing crew from the University of Washington shocked the world and won gold at the Berlin Olympics. By working together as a single unit, the eight-man crew accomplished something that they never could have achieved on their own. If just one rower had a bad day or the timing of their strokes was off just a little, it would spell disaster for the whole boat. Homes aren't all that different. We've all seen homes that had great potential. All the right components were there, but something was off. Great homes, like a great crew, incorporate each component so well that the effect is magical. 6145 W 81st Pl is just such a home. This home's varsity-level features include a classic brick exterior on a large, fenced corner lot; a detached, 2 car garage with newer garage door and adjoining covered patio; a spacious, split level layout which offers a large living room, separate dining room, and lower level family room; three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, espresso hardwood floors, plenty of natural light, and an updated kitchen with granite counters, cherry cabinets, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. There are several other newer components, including a 30 year architectural roof on the house and garage, furnace, AC, hot water heater, electrical panel, windows, washer, dryer, and bow windows in the living room and kitchen, all of which were replaced between 2017 and 2023. You won't need to put this home through rigorous, Olympic-level renovations. All of the expensive, hard work has already been done, so all that's left is to move in and enjoy. The only thing that rivals this home's quality is its location. It's on a quiet, residential street near parks, schools, highways, and offers easy access to downtown Chicago. Most of us will never be world-class athletes, but that doesn't mean you can't own a home that is worthy of Olympic gold.
