Gorgeous and trendy rehabbed 5 bedroom plus office (or use it as a small 6th bedroom) 2 bathroom single family home in North Lawndale on an oversized 27 foot extra wide lot by 125 feet deep. The owners lovingly retained the original charm while making all of the modern updates today's buyers could want including adding gas forced air furnace heat, central AC, 200 amp electrical plus new electrical throughout, new plumbing throughout, spray foam insulation and more when the property was deconverted from a 2 flat to a graciously sized single family home in 2015. Bright and airy throughout due to 9.5 foot ceilings on both the main floor and upper bedroom level as well as hardwood floors throughout. Welcome guests from your spacious front porch into your formal foyer with coat closet which opens to a large living room which easily fits a big sectional and leads to a formal dining room area that can fit a table for 8-10 people. Continue down the hallway past two bedrooms and a full bathroom with walk in shower to the gorgeous kitchen. The completely redone kitchen features soft close cabinets on the bottom with open shelving on the top, a gas double oven with 4 stove top burners plus a griddle, a hood vent which vents to the exterior, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and an island with a built-in microwave that seats 2 people. The kitchen opens to a den with exposed brick and a built-in buffet/hutch which can be used as an eat in kitchen area fitting a table for 10 or an additional family room. Off the kitchen is a three season porch which can stay as is or a buyer could remove the back porch/stairs to build a fantastic outdoor deck leading to the huge grassy backyard since the wall separating the kitchen from the three season porch is the original brick exterior wall. Upstairs is a large second family room, which gets flooded with natural light, as well as 3 additional bedrooms plus an adorable office and gorgeous bathroom with double sinks, a cast iron soaking tub with a TV mounted in front of it for long luxurious baths, a walk in shower, and a separate water closet for the toilet. The primary bedroom easily fits a king sized bed and looks out over the backyard. Also on this level is the large laundry room with side by side washer/dryer and a sink, which could easily be converted back to a 3rd bathroom with laundry moved to the basement. Washer/dryer, kitchen appliances, furnace, central AC and more from the rehab done in 2015. The unfinished basement, reached from the rear interior stairs, allows for additional expansion opportunities although with almost 2500 of finished square feet you may just love having a huge storage area or even workshop in the basement. While there is currently no onsite parking there is an alley in the rear of the property so a new buyer could potentially add a garage or parking pad at the rear of the lot while still retaining a large backyard, otherwise, there's always tons of permitted street parking. Great location close to Douglass Park where you can play tennis, soccer, golf, baseball, basketball, track or go swimming plus enjoy walking paths. Also close by is the gorgeous Lawndale Fitness Center which has a huge gym, Green Tomato Cafe, farmer's market with local community learning workshops and more. Just one block to the Kedzie Pink line stop or a quick drive to Pilsen, West Loop, Hyde Park, Little Village, the Loop and more.
