7020 S Woodlawn Ave.

A livable house for $100K. Hard to find so close to the University of Chicago (10 blocks) and the Lakefront, yet with a feeling of seclusion on a quiet, tree lined street. The current owners built a 2nd floor deck to enjoy the serene, landscaped views of the historic Oakwood Cemetery on the other side of their back alley. The house was once used as a 2 flat, and it could be used again for related living. There is some original vintage, never-painted woodwork on the main level including the French Doors separating the living and dining rooms. Hardwood floors gleam through the main floor. Replacement windows bring in terrific sunshine & air yet keep the place warmer in the winter. The second floor has new carpeting, 3 bedrooms, a 2nd bath & a den that opens out to the back deck. The full unfinished basement has a newer gas boiler for the radiator heat and washer & dryer. The kitchen appliances and both full bathrooms have also been updated. This area has historically been known as the "Pocket" because it is tucked in next to the cemetery which keeps the street quiet from through traffic. The 71st bus stops right on the corner & there is a 2 car garage out back. A brand new supermarket with fresh foods and organic options has just opened at 71st and Jeffrey. This is a terrific opportunity to own a single family home.
