Classic Chicago Brick Bungalow with Tons of Potential. Located on a desirable, quiet block with wonderful long-term neighbors, this classic Chicago brick bungalow offers timeless charm and loads of opportunity for the savvy buyer or investor. The main level features two bedrooms and one full bath, while the partially finished basement adds a third bedroom, a family room, and a second full bath-perfect for guests or expanded living. Upstairs, the attic offers an additional bedroom with plenty of space for future expansion or creative redesign. Lovingly owned by the same family for over 40 years, this home has been maintained and never allowed to fall into total disrepair. While it will need cosmetic updates and a thorough clean-out, it's a solid home ready to shine again with your vision and effort. This is your chance to earn some serious sweat equity while restoring a gem to its full potential. The Home is being sold as-is and is vacant and easy to show. Bring your ideas and schedule your viewing today!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
