Welcome to this charming 3BR/1.1BA brick bungalow in the heart of Lincoln Square. Built in 1927 and situated on a 29x124 corner lot, this timeless residence offers outstanding curb appeal with many of the original details. This home has been lovingly cared for the past 60 years by the third property owner. Inside, you'll find a large living room with a beautiful bay window that faces Leavitt. The home also features a large dining room with a wall of windows that provides wonderful natural light. The original details include hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, a decorative fireplace, original ceramic tile, a large walk-in coat closet, original wood doors, including a swinging glass door, original custom kitchen cabinets, as well as a built-in China cabinet/pantry. The basement is partially finished, and there is an unfinished attic that is nearly the size of the first floor with two large windows (east and north exposures). The property is roughly two blocks from Winnemac Park and walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions of Lincoln Square. Enjoy unmatched access to public transit with a short walk to the Brown Line, Metra, and several bus lines. Located in the McPherson Elementary and Amundsen High School district. This is a unique opportunity to own in one of Chicago's most sought-after areas. Whether you're looking to move right in or update and build equity, this home delivers location, layout, and long-term value.
