"Super-clean and live-in-ready to restore and possibly add an addition at your leisure." Or, tear down and build a new $1.5 million home on this oversized lot." This enchanting piece of Chicago history is nestled on a GREAT block among many ongoing high-end renovations in this desirable Albany Park neighborhood. This 1912 gem awaits someone with the vision to unlock its full potential. This three-bedroom, 1416-square-foot home is the perfect canvas for your dream renovation project. The oversized 37.4'x125' lot is a rare find in the city, offering endless possibilities for expansion for a great urban oasis. A full walk-out basement with a washer/dryer adds more value and potential. Enjoy sipping coffee on the vintage front porch with a classic metal gated fence. And with just a 3-block walk from the CTA Brown line, this is city living at its finest! The huge, fully fenced yard is perfect for summer barbecues, gardening enthusiasts, or your four-legged friends. Inside, the original hardwood floors lie in wait under the current Pergo flooring on the 1st floor, ready to be restored to their former glory. Recent updates include appliances, replaced windows throughout (2015), and a furnace (2016, according to the last owner), blending modern comfort with historic charm. A 2-car garage and an extra parking pad for guests mean you can say goodbye to you and your friends circling the block for parking! Note: While being sold AS-IS, this beauty is ready for move-in (or rental?), allowing you to take your time planning your dream renovations. For your peace of mind, the structural engineer's report and a complete home inspection report from last summer are available in the MLS through your Realtor. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of Chicago's architectural heritage. Your dream home awaits in Albany Park! (Note: Showings start at the open on Sunday, August 4th, 2-4 pm.)
