This stately 3-flat features original millwork, pocket doors, large bay windows, and sun-filled upper units with 10-foot ceilings. The garden-level unit is a spacious 1 bed, 1 bath with additional storage in the entry foyer and a separate storage closet. The main-level unit includes 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 fireplaces a bay-front living room, a large formal dining room, and a bright rear sunroom ideal as an office or flex space. The top-floor unit mirrors the main-level layout and was previously configured as a 3-bedroom. It now functions as a 2 bedroom, 2 bath plus den with a closet, and is vacant and move-in ready with refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, and fresh paint. A three-car garage plus a side parking pad provide four off-street spaces. The exterior pad has been successfully rented during Cubs home games for extra income.
