Property Description
Victorian brick row house landmarked in the historic Gap district of Bronzeville. The 3 floors of 2545 SF with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths are set in the most desirable "best kept secret" location in Chicago. Close access to the lake (at 31st Beach) is every true Chicagoan's dream. 1 block away is Dunbar Park with tennis courts, new track and field, soccer and baseball fields as well as playground. Public transportation with red, 3, 4 bus lines are all in close proximity. Lovingly restored to its glory in, the original architectural high points remain including the stone Neo-Greco ornamentation. Through the gate with fence, walking up and into the main level entrance, exposes the bones of historic character and charm. The original restored hand carved staircase, curved walls and columns, 14 feet ceilings with new and classic chandeliers, the east sunrise facing front bay window and the large deck off the open kitchen rear at sunset all offer a perfect entertaining owner experience. At the top of the stairs, under the sky light on the second floor holds two expansive bedrooms, a sweet office or baby room, and two full bathrooms. The light is spectacular from front bay windows to the rear in the afternoon glow. The just below ground floor has access from living room main floor and its own separate front and rear door. This has been a perfect live work space complete with large bathroom with steam shower, laundry room, and storage room. Just outside the rear is a fenced in gardener's delight complete with under the deck storage shelter. Priced to Sell today, make your appointment now before this opportunity is gone!!!
