Property Description
Meticulously maintained brick home in the heart of Chatham! This one has been cared for inside and out, from the manicured front lawn and landscaped beds to the gleaming hardwood floors throughout. A bright living room is centered on an oversized picture window that fills the space with natural light and opens to a warm, wood-paneled family room with built-in storage. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a stainless dishwasher, newer flooring, and plenty of room to gather. The main level has an eat-in kitchen area that could easily be made a 3rd bedroom/office, plus generously sized bedrooms upstairs with ceiling fans and a second full bath.

Explore Chatham
A strong history of prestigious African American-owned businesses established a solid base for a prosperous and successful Chicago neighborhood that is still present in Chatham and spills over into beautiful residential blocks and a viable commercial and dining district. Single-family homes dominate the neighborhood with a handful of multi-unit buildings here and there. But, for the most part Chatham residents live in classic bungalows and frame houses with small green yards and shaded front sidewalks. Along the main thoroughfares dozens of restaurants, takeout places, and neighborhood bars line the street, welcoming familiar faces to enjoy a meal and relax after a long day. Scattered among the eateries are a good selection of clothing stores and unique boutiques, with a Target on hand for the best in one-stop shopping.
