What's special

Charming Chicago bungalow featuring 3 levels of living space and numerous updates throughout. The main level offers a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The partially-finished basement includes a family room and a convenient half-bath, providing additional living and entertaining space. The fully-finished attic features an open-concept loft, ideal for a home office, recreation area, or guest space. This property is being sold "as-is" as a short sale. The home will require plumbing repairs, and utilities will not be activated for inspections, appraisals, or buyer walkthroughs. Buyer should conduct all due diligence accordingly and expect to purchase as a cash or 203k/rehab loan.
