For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Step inside and feel the character of this 1920 beauty. From the enclosed front porch, you're welcomed into a foyer that opens to a light-filled living room with gorgeous natural woodwork & lots windows all around. The spacious dining room flows into the kitchen, where you'll find updated flooring & a handy half bath nearby. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms & full bath (also with new flooring) offer plenty of space. The original hardwood floors throughout add warmth and history, while the freshly painted lower level is ready for whatever you imagine. The roof was replaced in 2024, and the private backyard is full of potential for gardens, play, or simply unwinding. The garage? It's an impressive two-story space with room for cars, storage, and even a workshop. All this within walking distance to Garfield Park and St. Frances School, making it not just a house, but a lifestyle. 1495 sq ft of charm, space, and possibilities... ready for its next chapter. Please call 800-203-8713 ext 1054 for more information and to schedule a private tour.
