Description
Sold before print. Your chance to own a piece of Chicago history in rapidly appreciating Grand Boulevard! Built in the year of the world's Colombian Exhibition in nearby Jackson Park, this stunning greystone is nestled between its neighbors on Washington Park Court, a Chicago landmark block of architecturally distinct rowhouses tucked away in a quiet residential district at the southern edge of Bronzeville. Lovingly maintained and modernized, this beautiful home features a facade of Indiana limestone, original woodwork from 1893, and hardwood floors throughout the first and second floor. The home's main level flows from the front living and dining space to a massive, thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen. The original grand staircase in the entryway brings you upstairs to a bright sky-lit hallway with a spacious master bedroom featuring a newly renovated (2021) ensuite bath and west-facing bay windows that let in an abundance of natural light. The second floor also features three additional bedrooms, another full bath, and plenty of storage, including built-in bookshelves. In the finished basement, you'll find laundry, another full bath, and an open flex space currently being used as an artist's studio and cozy den, all accessible via both front and rear private entries. Outdoors, a garage rooftop deck provides a spacious venue for summer socializing. The new (2022) garage's roll-up garage door means easy access to exposed rafters, offering extra storage potential for bikes, kayaks, or other outdoor gear. Don't miss this opportunity to invest in a historic home in a prime location - less than a 10-minute drive to the lakefront, University of Chicago, or IIT, and a mere 20-minute drive in rush hour to the Loop! The Green Line and numerous CTA bus routes are steps away. On weekends, enjoy a short walk to Washington Park, shops, and restaurants along bustling 47th and 51st Streets. Enjoy neighborhood gems like the South Side Sanctuary, Boxville food and retail marketplace, Sip & Savor coffeeshop, the Bronzeville Art District, and so much more. Upcoming nearby developments include the Northwestern Medicine Bronzeville Outpatient Center and the Obama Presidential Center. Investors: buy and rent long-term or operate as a Airbnb or vacation rental. Savvy new homeowners: take advantage of this opportunity to buy while the neighborhood is still affordable!
