Property Description

Opportunity knocks on Dorchester. This 4-bed, 2-bath 1888 Victorian sits on a quiet block minutes from Hyde Park, the University of Chicago, and the lakefront - and it's ready for its next chapter. At 1,680 square feet across two stories plus a full basement and a huge walk-up attic, there's real room to build value here. The good bones are all there: original hardwood floors under years of wear, tall windows that flood the rooms with light, a classic bay window, and generous room sizes you just don't get in new construction. Two full baths, a full basement for storage or future finish, laundry hookups already in place, and a fenced backyard with established garden beds round it out. Bring your vision and your contractor. Whether you're an owner-occupant looking to build sweat equity with a renovation loan or an investor chasing a strong Woodlawn/Hyde Park rehab play, this one has the footprint and the location too maximize your return on investment.. Sold strictly as-is - priced to move at $149,000. Ask about renovation financing that rolls the purchase AND the rehab into one loan - details in the flyer.
