Gut rehabbed in 2006, this classic brick cottage offers two nicely finished levels of living space. Currently occupied by long-term month-to-month tenants, this is an opportunity for both owner occupants and investors. The main floor features high ceilings with plenty of recessed lighting, hardwood floors, a large living room with huge bay windows and a skylight, two bedrooms with ample closets, a full bath, and an updated maple cabinet/stainless steel kitchen that's open to a charming dining area. The fully finished lower level offers a generous family room, two more bedrooms, a second full bath, plus a laundry room and extra storage. Relax on the spacious and private back porch, overlooking a pet- and garden-friendly yard enclosed by 8' privacy fencing, with a variety of berry plants and a two car garage to top it all off. Nestled between Humboldt and Garfield Parks, this home is convenient to green space, shopping and dining, the Green line, Chicago bus, and the Eisenhower Expressway for quick downtown access.
