An incredible opportunity awaits to renovate one of the Hutchinson Street Historic District's hidden gems! Nestled in leafy Buena Park, on one of the city's most coveted streets, this 4BR/2.1BA home has been lovingly owned and maintained by the same owners for over 50 years. While unassuming from the street, the home went through a major renovation in the early 1970's and many of those changes hide the 1912 charm underneath, including hardwood flooring under most of the carpets. Still today, the house has great bones and spacious living areas, much as it did when it was first built. Designed by architect Otto Kaiser for Charles J. Lenz. The living room stretches the entire width of the house, and is perfect for formal entertaining, hosting holidays, and has a large picture window to enjoy the views of the neighborhood's stunning architecture, and a front row seat to watch the colorful season changes. The main level also has a formal dining room, large kitchen with breakfast nook, and a main level bedroom that could be used as a primary bedroom, den, or home office. Upstairs are three bedrooms with tons of closet space, a full bath, additional linen closet, and a spacious primary suite. Completing the upstairs is a nook for a play area or reading space, which has beautiful southern light pouring in and a gorgeous view of the backyard. The finished basement is perfect for entertaining, with a large wet bar, half bath, and two recreation spaces. The fenced-in backyard offers tons of potential for landscaping a backyard oasis! What's even more rare for the neighborhood is the attached oversized two car garage, which offers ample space for storage or a home workshop. Buena Park is known for "Good Living By the Lake", with easy access to the lakefront bike path and beach access one block away at the Buena Avenue underpass. A plethora of public transit options await the staunchest of city dwellers, with CTA 146 and 148 express buses are on each ends of the blocks, plus several other CTA bus and train options nearby. Jewel, Target, Aldi, & dinner options like Bar on Buena & The Reservoir are all within 4 blocks! Easy access to Lake Shore Drive (you can be on the drive in less than 3 mins) & a 10 minute drive to Michigan Avenue! Homes like these are a once-in-a-generation opportunity. ***The house is not individually landmarked, but the street is. The preservation status is "orange rated", thus any changes to the home's exterior, or demolition, will require approval by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks. Please see additional docs regarding possible renovation and preservation tax incentives that may be available for this property.***
