HISTORIC REVIVAL and Up Town, right there in the HEART of it all! Huge 8850 sq ft lot hosts this 154 yr old classic 2 story. 8 CHARMING rooms with natural wood floors, trim, built ins etc. Exclude the Dining Room and Office light fixtures, to be capped or replaced. Interestingly enough, the house to the South is also on the market...buy them both for ONE HUNDRED ft frontage parcel!
Gracious lady from 1869. Has been thru many waves of improvement & rehab thru the decades. Needs a new owner to carry the torch. Suprisingly open floorplan on the 1st level & good sized bedrooms upstairs. Long galley kitchen. Unfortunate family room...
addition needs to be re-thought. Basement will never be much more than storage but is tall. Newer boiler, all copper plumbing, 200 amp electric. Good sized yard. Equally old and unique garage. Easy walk to downtown Pk Ridge & Metra. There must be a story here that desrves investigating! Great project for the right person.
