Step back in time with this historic 1890s Brick rowhouse in the heart of Bronzeville. This stunning three-story brick beauty is a rare find, offering a wealth of original woodwork that adds to its timeless charm. The home features five large bedrooms, three and half bathrooms, and two elegant parlor rooms, each exuding the character and warmth of a bygone era. The centerpiece of the home is a breathtaking staircase and three decorative fireplaces adding charm and showcasing the craftsmanship of the past. The home underwent a significant renovation in 2009, including new plumbing, electrical upgrades with copper piping, recessed can lighting, and new flooring. More recent updates include a new concrete stairway at the front of the home in 2023 and new front-facing windows in 2024. The home also boasts copper fascia and copper gutters, adding a touch of elegance to the exterior. Inside, the intricate millwork in the dining room and the coffered ceilings in the living room further enhance the home's historical charm. The lower level features a legal garden unit, presenting an excellent opportunity for additional income. With its multi-family zoning, the property offers versatility for the new owner. Located near the Obama Presidential Library and the University of Chicago Hospital, this lovely rowhouse is situated in one of Chicago's most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods. The home is just steps away from parks, dining, and entertainment options. While the home has some deferred maintenance, it presents a unique opportunity for a new homeowner who will appreciate the charm of this vintage property and make it their own. While the home offers a strong foundation, it's ready for a new owner to bring their vision and personal touch to make this historic property truly their own. Being sold as-is, it's ready for its next chapter.
