Tremendous opportunity to own and update this beautiful 2 story home on an oversized lot in the South Albany Park/Mayfair neighborhood. In the same family for decades and largely unchanged over time, this is a perfect chance to bring your new ideas to life while benefitting from the years of loving care given by the previous owner. Separate living and dining rooms on the first floor are filled with natural light and lead the way to a bright kitchen and additional room perfect as a sunny home office overlooking a storybook backyard filled with mature trees and lush greenery. Original, beautiful woodwork accentuates the path upstairs, where three queen size bedrooms, one with a huge walk-in closet (or nursery? study? Pilates room?), boast handsome hardwood floors and a full bathroom, complete with original clawfoot tub. An unfinished but clean and dry basement enjoys 7 foot ceilings and numerous large windows allowing an amount of natural light you just don't see in Chicago's lower levels. The entire house is outfitted with functional central air and heat and a 2 car garage means parking and additional storage are yours. Easy access to multiple transportation options, 90/94, LaBagh Woods, Gompers Park, the River, and more, this centrally located charmer is waiting for another loving owner to give it the updating it deserves.
