    Proudly offered for the first time since it was built, this original-owner masonry and limestone single-family home is a rare find in the vibrant Bronzeville neighborhood. Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this home offers the opportunity to move right in and update at your own pace, creating the finishes and style you truly want. Freshly painted throughout, including all trim and doors, with updated lighting and new basement carpet, the home feels bright and refreshed while still offering exciting potential for future personalization. The main level offers a welcoming layout with a spacious living and dining room separate from the kitchen, which opens to a wide family room and powder room, creating a comfortable and functional flow throughout the main level. Large windows bring in abundant natural light, and sliding doors lead out to the deck and yard on the way to the two-car garage. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a generous primary suite with a whirlpool tub and private balcony retreat. A rear bedroom also enjoys access to a second balcony overlooking the yard. The finished basement adds exceptional flexibility with its own private front entrance, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large living space, ideal for guests, extended family, or the possibility of additional income. Move right in today and make updates over time while enjoying the space, flexibility, and incredible Bronzeville location. Easy access to both Lake Shore Drive, the 90/94 expressway and all that Bronzeville and neighboring Hyde Park and Kenwood have to offer.
