A rare find in Avondale: a vintage 1893 brick multi-unit, full of classic Chicago character. It's exactly the kind of project that rewards someone willing to see past the surface. Both units feature a full residence with similar layouts: living room, dining room, primary bedroom, second bedroom, den (potential for third bedroom), kitchen, and bath. The second floor unit carries that same footprint up through a finished attic level / non-conforming unit with its own eat-in kitchen and additional bedroom and bath, giving this building real flexibility for an owner-occupant, a multi-generational setup, or an investor looking to reposition the whole property. The bones are the story here: vintage checkerboard and hex tile floors, original wood trim and crown molding, a bay window dining room, cast iron radiators, and arched doorways. The kitchens and baths are original to another era, which is exactly what makes this a blank canvas rather than a compromise. Outside, a nice backyard space...
