Rarely available extra wide Brick 2 flat with Owner's Duplex on oversized Chicago lot. This light filled building is the ideal blend of vintage Chicago detail with the modern updates usually missing in similar properties. Building was renovated in 2015 including: in-unit washer & dryers, high efficiency furnaces & central air, updated kitchens with dishwashers, 200 amp electric service and a fully finished lower level that creates a 4-5 bedroom unit. Both units feature hardwood floors throughout, original crown moulding, large sunny south facing living rooms and off-set dining rooms that provide better flow and more square footage than a typical shotgun 2 flat. And with this 25 foot wide building, the extra space is noticeable! Lower level features high ceilings, drain tile & sump, enormous bright family room, 2 bedrooms, separate workshop/office that can easily convert to the 5th bedroom, spacious laundry room, & walk-in storage closets. Beautiful, sunny rear yard offers raised garden beds, perennial landscaping, and plenty of space to play or bbq plus a 2 car garage. Building also features re-built rear porches, roof & windows under 10 years old, major copper plumbing updates, & solid tuckpointing.
