5733 N Jersey Ave., Chicago, IL 60659

Rare opportunity to own a 1924 parkside cottage, one among an exclusive row of houses built adjacent to Legion Park along Chicago's North Shore Channel. Rear of lot placement with a finished pad for two cars and private curb-cut driveway allow for easy park access. An award-winning landscape awaits you, featuring a lush native garden filled with perennials, mature plants and trees, and floral delights of every kind. The first floor interior, recently renovated, has gorgeous hardwood floors, open-concept living/dining, a modern kitchen with newer appliances and fixtures, office, and powder room. Upstairs three large bedrooms including tandem and a full bath complete the finished living space. Downstairs, the basement is comprised of laundry, utility, storage, and an open room where you can craft, build, make messes and play, or design the finished space of your dreams. The home's rear deck opens to a simple, cedar-fenced yard, perfect for more gardening, outdoor dining and relaxation, and then, the real gem - a 51-acre park just outside your back gate, with riverfront bike/jog paths, 1.5 acres of native prairie habitat, canoe launch, tennis, playgrounds, and recreation. Wow doesn't even begin to cover it. **Bonus** This home is walking distance from everything you'd want - Level 1+ Peterson School, Northside College Prep, Mather HS, NEIU, award-winning restaurants, groceries and shops. Easy access to Brown Line at Kimball, Metra, 90/94, and LSD. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind place to call home, you'll find none more beautiful than this.
