About This Home

Classic Georgian Charm with Space, Potential & a Vision Waiting to Be Realized. Featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, along with separate living and dining rooms, this home offers a traditional layout that serves as a strong foundation for future improvements. The partially finished basement provides additional space ready for reimagining-ideal for a recreation area, workspace, or storage once restored. Buyers should come prepared to bring their vision, resources, and due diligence to explore the full potential of the home. Now let's talk about that rear yard-because it's a standout feature. The expansive outdoor space includes a concrete patio and offers a concrete slab for a new garage, making it a great canvas for future outdoor design and functionality. Location highlights add everyday convenience. Situated in Chicago's Roseland community, the property is near neighborhood amenities such as Palmer Park, providing access to green space and recreation. Shopping, dining, and essential services are accessible along nearby corridors including 119th Street and Michigan Avenue. Commuting is supported by CTA bus routes and rail access via the Metra Electric District, offering connectivity to downtown Chicago and surrounding areas. This property presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a project with long-term upside in an established neighborhood.
