Great opportunity to live in a Brick ranch home in the heart of West Elsdon. The Main level has large living room, kitchen with eating area and 2 bedrooms. A few steps up to a HUGE 35x22 attic/dormer and a few steps down to a large basement and they are both awaiting your finishing touches to increase your living space. Enjoy your fenced back yard with a 23x11 patio and 2 car garage. This home has been very well maintained with newer items that include furnace (2023), refrigerator and water heater(2022). Conveniently located, just a 12 minute WALK to the Pulaski Orange Line and 20 minute drive to the Loop.

RS-2
Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District
The primary purpose of the RS districts is to accommodate the development of detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RS zoning be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Ordinance includes three RS districts - RS2 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
