This historic Chicago 3-flat blends classic architectural charm with modern convenience. Situated on a corner lot line with no setbacks, the over 8, 000-square-foot building features expansive units and a detached two-car garage accessible via a curb cut on Nelson Street. Enjoy outdoor living with a bluestone patio and two large decks. Formerly a storefront, Unit #1 offers more than 2, 000 square feet of living space, featuring soaring 12-foot tin ceilings, 3 bedrooms plus an office, and 1.5 baths. The building's largest and most updated unit, #2-R (the owner's unit) spans the rear portion of the second floor and the entire third level. It includes a living/dining room with plaster ceiling medallion, an eat-in kitchen with newer appliances, a huge family room, an office, a lofted primary suite with ample closets and spa bath, a second bedroom, another full bath, and in-unit laundry. Unit #2-F offers spacious living space, an eat-in kitchen, two bedrooms + an office, and a full bath. The 1, 650 sqft unfinished basement provides generous storage and coin laundry. Each unit has newer a/c units and newer water heaters, including a 100-gallon tank for the owner's unit. The roof was a full tear-off in 2005 and has new vents. The garage generates extra income, with tenants paying $250 per space with tandem spots on the outdoor pad ($6k annually). The coin laundry generates an additional $2, 400 annually.
