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. Inside, however, is where the true value lies: TWO massive 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath units offering significant income potential or exceptional space for an owner-occupant. Original Craftsmanship, Modern Comfort: Both units feature meticulously restored original millwork, large rooms, separate formal dining areas, and original hardwood flooring throughout, preserving the home's historic soul. Practical upgrades include double-hung vinyl windows in bedrooms, kitchens, and baths. Worry-Free Mechanicals: Modernized systems give you peace of mind. The property boasts copper plumbing and the rare, desirable combination of two separate boilers AND two forced-air conditioning systems, offering both the comfort of radiant heat and the efficiency of central air. The Owner's Sanctuary (Second Floor) The owner's unit is a true showpiece: Custom White Kitchen: A sleek space featuring quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, a built-in oven and microwave, a gas cooktop, and a wine rack. Bright & Airy: Two skylights flood the kitchen with natural light. Luxurious Touches: Modernized bathrooms, dimmer switches, wired sound, and recessed lighting in multiple rooms create a high-end living experience. Maintained and Ready to Go (First Floor) The first floor is also updated and move-in ready for an owner or new tenant. Upgraded: The kitchen features custom maple cabinetry and granite counters, complemented by two upgraded baths. Command top rental income with 2 bathrooms in each unit. 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. It could be converted to a 3rd unit as it has 2 entrances.
