Property Description

A rare opportunity in Chicago's desirable Ravenswood area! Built in 1898, this classic Victorian 2-flat with Queen Anne architectural influences makes a striking first impression with its steep front-facing gable, asymmetrical facade, projecting second-floor bay, tall, narrow proportions, decorative brackets and trim beneath the gable and eaves, and distinctive shingle treatment at the peak.This substantial, owner-occupied vintage 2-flat sits on an exceptionally deep 25' x 174' lot and offers approximately 3,445 square feet of living space-about 1,722 square feet per floor-plus a full high-ceiling attic and full basement. Loaded with original character, the home features beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings on both levels, vintage pocket doors, substantial original trim and moldings, and custom built-ins in the dining room. The first-floor residence offers three generously sized bedrooms, a large kitchen footprint and decorative faux fireplace. The second floor features four nicely sized bedrooms and a wood-burning fireplace. Beyond the two main living levels, the property offers tremendous additional space. The full attic has impressive ceiling height, while the full basement also features high ceilings and two separate entrances. Outside, the unusually deep lot provides a large, open grassy backyard with plenty of room to enjoy. Zoned RS-3, this is a property with tremendous potential and possibilities. Preserve and update it as a spacious 2-flat, explore conversion to a grand single-family residence, or investigate other potential configurations such as duplex-up/duplex-down or condominium conversion, subject to zoning and City of Chicago approvals. This is an opportunity for a buyer with vision to restore, renovate and reimagine a large vintage Ravenswood property with wonderful architectural details, substantial square footage and an exceptional lot. Property is being sold strictly "as-is." Most contents currently in the property will remain and are included with the sale, with the exception of certain personal items the seller will remove prior to closing.

Explore Ravenswood

Filled with gigantic trees, spacious lawns, and old renovated homes, the Ravenswood neighborhood is a lovely place to get away from hectic city life, while remaining in the middle of a thriving community that has it all. One of Ravenswood's (or Lincoln Square's, depending on who you ask) crowning glories is the Old Town School of Folk Music. It originated in Old Town, but the performance venue (which has hosted the likes of Joni Mitchell) was moved up to Ravenswood in recent years and continues to produce great folk shows. A slew of Ravenswood cafés and taverns also welcome live music and the occasional comedy act, in addition to supplying the bulk of neighborhood nightlife. On the dining front, a long list of excellent restaurants has made a blip on Chicago's culinary radar. Romantic French bistros, trendy sushi bars, unforgettable Italian pasterias, and satisfying American diners cover any mood or craving with style and masterfully prepared meals.
