About this home
Discover this impressive greystone residence with a period addition, set on a spacious double lot in the historic Bronzeville/Washington Park neighborhood. The property offers two bright main residences along with a charming one-bedroom garden-level apartment. The building was extensively renovated in the mid-1990s and has received additional improvements over the years, including a roof replacement approximately ten years ago and recently completed exterior tuckpointing. The first-floor residence features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms and previously served as the owner's private residence. This unit is equipped with central air conditioning. The second floor offers a unique duplex layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and currently does not have climate control. The property features two occupied units, including the garden and first-floor units, while the second-floor duplex is currently vacant.
Grand Boulevard, located between Bronzeville and Washington Park, is a historic and residential Chicago neighborhood with landmark boulevards and stately greystones. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive near 47th Street, where legacy storefronts, community institutions, and wide medians set a measured, boulevard pace. The Forum anchors local cultural memory with its storied marquee and event history. The Chicago Urban League headquarters adds civic gravity to the streetscape. Tree-lined blocks mix classic brick two-flats with courtyard buildings, while nearby park edges shape daily routes on foot and bike.
