This massive, all-brick corner two-flat stands proudly in a prime, vibrant Lincoln Square, Chicago neighborhood, ready to appeal to both your sophisticated eye. Unmatched Charm and Income Potential From the street, the stately yellow facade and dominating leaded stained glass windows demand attention.

Essential Extras for Urban Living Garage Parking: A vital amenity in any city, provided by a two-car brick garage plus there is a parking curb large enough to add a 3rd exterior parking option Outdoor Amenities: Enjoy the convenience of enclosed rear porches and an automated underground sprinkler system to keep the landscaping pristine. Future Value in the lower level: A large, clean, and dry full basement is ready and waiting for your finishing touches-perfect for a rec room, home gym, or additional storage.
