I have the honor of presenting 6609 S. University Avenue, a beautifully sunlit 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom single family home nestled on a 3,152 sf lot. Surrounded by new and near-new construction, your charming residence offers the perfect blend of modern updates and classic warmth. Upon entering, you'll be warmly greeted by an inviting foyer that leads to a welcoming living room, an elegant dining room, and an updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, and microwave). The open-concept design seamlessly connects the kitchen, sunroom, and main living spaces, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The dining room easily accommodates a table for eight (8), while the kitchen island provides additional seating for casual gatherings. The sunroom, bathed in natural light, is an ideal space for both plants and people to thrive. Upstairs, the primary bedroom boasts a skylight, filling the space with natural illumination. Two (2) additional bedrooms and one (1) full bathroom complete the upper level. The fully finished basement offers a cozy family room, a guest bedroom, and an additional full bathroom-perfect for visitors or extended family. Outside, enjoy summer evenings on your expansive deck, and take advantage of the convenience of a two-car garage. Central air ensures comfort during hot, summer months. Close proximity to the University of Chicago Lab School, University of Chicago Charter School and the highly anticipated Obama Presidential Library, this home is an incredible opportunity in a thriving community.
