What's special

Two-car garageCalm tree lined street

Owned by the same family for 56 loving years, this unique single family gem is awaiting your contractor and social media inspo to bring it back to the home of your dreams! Situated across the street from Portage Park Elementary School and on an oversized 31X126 lot, it makes for an easy commute for the kiddos. The first level boasts a plentiful amount of usable living space -- please see floorplan to better understand the layout. Enjoy three generous large bedrooms upstairs or perhaps reconfigure to four to add value. The basement is functional and finished and the HVAC is only three years old. Just a short stroll away from the Park with easy use of public transportation while nestled within calm tree lined street. There's also a two-car garage! Please know this home is being sold AS-IS. We are excited to see what this home can become!
