About this property

Located in the heart of East Bronzeville, this historic row home situated on a deep corner lot blends the character and charm you would come to expect of this style home with some modern updates that make this home feel that of a new construction! Aside from the corner lot there is a lot more to appreciate in this home, the high ceilings are something you would expect in a new construction and not found often in row homes of this time period, combine the high ceilings with the open layout, you will be amazed! The main level offers a very modern feel with natural refinished hardwood floors, updated kitchen counters/cabiners along with a very modern full bathroom. The second level offers three generous sized bedrooms, a second bathroom which has also been updated and if you need more space the basement offers just that. Partially finished with some updates needed, the value add is really in this space where you can refinish, add a fourth bedroom while having a family room and your equity will soar! The two car garage is another feature not often seen in row homes, combine all this home has to offer with the location being so close to the lakefront and blocks from the heart of Hyde Park, this home will be a hard one to overlook! Minor updates are needed but there is huge upside! Get inside today to appreciate all this home has to offer!
