Rehab alert! Located on a quiet, one-way residential street, this robust, Chicago brick beauty has strong bones and sits on an extra-wide lot in a PRIME Edgewater location. The exterior is in excellent condition and features updated tuckpointing, decorative stone and woodwork in the backyard, and includes a two car garage with a pad with the ability to add a third spot. Current configuration inside is a multi-unit/single-family hybrid, which met the previous owner's needs, and is ready for the next owner's ideas. Interior features include original tile in the foyer, a front sunroom on each floor, original hutch on the second floor, updated boiler, updated electrical panels, an in-home Generac generator, as well as elaborate woodwork throughout. And for residents or family members with mobility challenges, the building has an in-home elevator that makes stops on all three floors, as well as an exterior entrance in the back. Modernize and upgrade to a single-family home, or refurbish and keep the building as a multi-unit, the choice is yours. Located only a few blocks from the lake, two blocks to the Thorndale Red Line, and with some of the most amazing independent businesses right outside your doorstep on Broadway like Regalia, Independent Spirits, Indie Cafe, Bark Bark Club, Loaves and Witches, Lickety Split, Honeypie, Little Corner Restaurant, Moody's Pub and Patio Beef, there is no reason to ever leave the neighborhood!
