Property Description

Proudly offered for the first time since it was built, this original-owner masonry and limestone single-family home is a rare find in the vibrant Bronzeville neighborhood. Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this home offers the opportunity to move right in and update at your own pace, creating the finishes and style you truly want. Freshly painted throughout, including all trim and doors, with updated lighting and new basement carpet, the home feels bright and refreshed while still offering exciting potential for future personalization.

A rear bedroom also enjoys access to a second balcony overlooking the yard. The finished basement adds exceptional flexibility with its own private front entrance, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large living space, ideal for guests, extended family, or the possibility of additional income.
