This is nothing like your typical Chicago 2 flat. It's a place to call home while having an additional unit for extra income, extended family, or maybe a co-buying friend. Lovingly maintained on an extra wide and deep lot, the building welcomes you with its beautiful curb appeal and large front porch. Each unit is wider than typical, and both have original woodwork in the living rooms and dining rooms for great character. The wood columns and built-in dining room hutches are reminiscent of another era, creating a space that really feels like a home. Unit 1 includes 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom and an eat-in kitchen, while unit 2 has 3 bedrooms/1 bathroom, eat-in kitchen and a front roof line for deck as well as a smaller balcony area off the dining room. Both units have a large pantry closet that would make a perfect area for adding in-unit washers and dryers. Each unit has its own furnace (no central air currently), water heater, & electric service, while the basement is a high basement with tons of potential. (Maybe adding another unit down here when the new ADU ordinance takes effect in 2026?) Having a 142' lot provides for exceptional yard space, while also allowing for the 2-car parking pad (and space to add a 3rd) for parking. Located close to the border of West Ridge and Rogers Park on a quiet residential street, this is the place to set down roots and call home with your family, much like the extended family that used to live here did. Walkable to the Lunt Metra, Jarvis Red Line, Armstrong Elementary School, Honeybear Cafe, Candlelite Restaurant, Indian Boundary Park, and so much more.
