LOCATION, FUNCTION, AND VALUE! A rare gem in the heart of Logan Square; this home has it all! Proximity to public transportation, dining, shopping, and entertainment, and a versatile layout that fits many families' lifestyles.
This sunny, fully rehabbed, and move-in-ready single-family home offers exceptional versatility and appeal for a wide range of buyers. Ideal for first-time homebuyers, the property provides the rare opportunity to enjoy the entire home for personal use or to Airbnb the lower level to generate supplemental income that can help offset the mortgage. Condo buyers will appreciate the chance to step up into a single-family residence at a condo-comparable price point. For investors, the home presents strong rental potential with the added flexibility of Airbnb income from the lower level. Multi-generational or related-living families will benefit from the partially finished basement.
The main level boasts an inviting open-concept layout centered around a beautiful modern kitchen, making it perfect for entertaining family and friends. It includes a thoughtful, fully rehabbed bathroom and two equally sized, spacious bedrooms. The entire main level is finished with beautiful maple hardwood floors.
The lower level provides outstanding flexibility and functionality. It features a full bathroom, second kitchen, and two exterior exits, allowing it to serve multiple purposes such as related living quarters, an Airbnb rental unit, or additional living space that can be configured as a home office, family room, or flex space. Additional conveniences include a dedicated laundry room, storage room, and pantry. Outdoor enjoyment is equally impressive.
The home features a large front porch ideal for relaxing on lazy summer evenings, while the side yard offers ample space for gardening, pets, barbecuing, or outdoor entertaining. A concrete patio surrounded by a privacy fence provides a private and secure retreat for relaxation and gatherings.
The location is truly superb, with walking distance to a variety of restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, markets, music, and entertainment options.
