1219 N Damen Avenue Chicago IL 60622 | MLS #MRD12757167

Rarely available all-brick 2-unit building in an unbeatable Wicker Park location, just steps from Colectivo Coffee! Situated on a 24′ x 120′ lot, this property offers more than 1,300 SF per floor, vintage curb appeal, generous ceiling heights, excellent outdoor space, and a highly desirable layout. Zoned RT-4 and not located in a landmark district. The tenant occupied top-floor 2BD/1BA simplex features approximately 10′ ceilings, beautiful parquet wood flooring, an exceptionally spacious living/dining area, covered private rear deck, and a massive bedroom easily accommodating a king-size bedroom set plus additional furnishings. Newer in-unit washer/dryer in a dedicated closet, tankless hot water, furnace, and central A/C. The 3BD + den/3BA duplex-down is ready for immediate occupancy and offers an impressive blend of vintage character and thoughtful updates. The upper level showcases exposed brick and timber details in the front living area, approximately 10′ ceilings, and a dramatic skylight that floods the open-concept kitchen with natural light. The enormous kitchen offers an extraordinary amount of cabinetry and counter space, with beautiful granite countertops, plus a pantry closet. The oversized primary suite features abundant closet storage and a jetted tub, while the second full bath on this level also includes a jetted tub. Upper-level flooring has just been refinished. The newly finished lower level features quality new vinyl plank flooring, a laundry room with oversized side-by-side washer/dryer, a third full bathroom with steam shower and body sprays, and a versatile rear bonus room. The middle walk-through bedroom includes an enormous walk-in closet. A new comprehensive waterproofing system (drain tile and sump pump) was added when the owner created the duplex unit about a decade ago and the basement has been bone dry. Each unit has its own furnace, central A/C, and in-unit laundry. Incredible oversized backyard, extra-wide 2-car garage, and classic all-brick facade with serious vintage curb appeal. Despite being on a main road, street noise is remarkably well contained inside. An exceptional opportunity to own a distinctive Wicker Park 2-flat with strong owner-occupant and investment appeal, just approximately 100 feet north of Colectivo Coffee and surrounded by the neighborhood’s renowned restaurants, shops, nightlife, and transportation.
