Property Description

Built in 1922, this gorgeous, extra-wide brick two-flat plus in-law suite sits in Budlong Woods on the western edge of Lincoln Square. Boasting seven bedrooms and a rare five full baths across three levels (first and second floor have two full baths each), livability and income potential are maximized. The building faces east across Western Avenue toward open green space. Morning sun beams straight through the front windows and in the evening, the enclosed back porches catch the sunset. Top floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a formal living room, separate dining room, and enclosed back porch. First floor has 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a foyer, living and dining rooms, an electric fireplace and its own enclosed back porch. Both units have repurposed some of the original wooden doors to a barn door configuration to maximize space and can be reinstalled in the original fashion. First floor enjoys floating engineered flooring over sound-dampening underlayment, with the original hardwood still underneath and ready for refinishing. The lower level has 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, stainless appliances, newer windows, lighting, radiators, and a marble-tiled entryway. Owner makes no representation as to the legality of the lower level unit. Shared coin laundry. 2-car garage plus a tandem parking pad for two additional cars. Out front: covered stair entries and a stylish patio for entertaining. The Western bus stops steps away and you're a short jaunt to Lincoln Ave, with its restaurants, coffee shops, Giddings Plaza and the Brown Line.
