The one you have been waiting for! Bring your contractor and your vision to this stately, JUMBO brick 2-flat nestled in Edgewater/Andersonville!

Approximately 1500 sq. ft. per floor with 9′ ceilings and over 7′ tall basement! The ORIGINAL owner/builder, E.R. Hodgenson, a noted early 20th century Chicago architect, had his office (with stairs leading down from the front entry) in the basement!

The possibilities are endless: convert to a spectacular single-family home, create a luxury owner-occupied duplex, or renovate into two or three massive condos.
