What's around 4842 N California Ave

About this property

This location can't be beat. This classic brick 2-flat sits on an extra-wide lot just 4 blocks from the Brown Line "L," and a short walk to the heart of Lincoln Square, with all its wonderful shops and restaurants. It's even closer to the wildly popular Harvest Time Foods. In addition, it's situated between two vibrant Chicago parks, the beautiful River Park -- with canoe launch, playground, splash pad, dog park, pool and tennis courts - and the smaller Gross Park, with an open field for dog runs and local events. The building, with its vintage charm, is every bit as enticing. The 2nd-floor apartment has been rehabbed with a beautiful, modern kitchen and bath, plus in-unit laundry and hardwood floors throughout, plus a decorative original fireplace and spacious room sizes on the wider than typical footprint. It's the perfect marriage of old-world detail, including stained-glass windows and oak doors, and modern updates, such as a dishwasher and custom radiator covers, making it highly desirable for the owner-occupied buyer, or easy to lease for any investor-owner. The 1st-floor apartment features spacious room sizes, including large dining and living rooms, as well as an eat-in kitchen and walk-in closet. Both units enjoy sunlit back porches with western exposure. Building improvements include installation of a new roof in 2017, plus a new hot water heater, boiler and commercial-grade washer and dryer since then. The two-car garage also had a new flat roof installed. The basement level has its own front entrance and back egress, allowing for potential conversion to an additional dwelling unit. Or it could be combined with the 1st floor for a larger duplex-down home, or enhanced rental property. The lovely front and back yards, with room for gardening and grilling, is icing on the cake of this well-cared-for property.
