Come home to this luxuriously updated red brick Chicago two-flat in the heart of Irving Park. Taking full advantage of an extra-wide lot, this home features both a wider floor plan and privacy from next-door neighbors. The duplex down owner's unit lives like a single-family home, with five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, family room with wet bar, and custom finishes throughout - including European cabinetry, brand-new smart electric fireplaces, newly refinished hardwood flooring on the first floor, and luxury vinyl flooring on the lower level. Seller is offering a $10,000 credit so that buyer can purchase new appliances of their choosing! Upstairs, you'll find a spacious three-bedroom, one-bath apartment with inlaid hardwood flooring, in-unit washer and dryer, rear entryway bench and storage unit. Gut rehabbed in 2016, this home offers peace of mind with new water service, electric, plumbing, sump pump, HVAC, tuckpointing, roof, and garage. The backyard is a cozy oasis away from the hustle and bustle, with a wooden deck surrounded by lush foliage. A Japanese maple is the centerpiece of the landscaped front garden. The oversized garage features not only room for two vehicles, but plenty of storage space - including overhead racks for outdoor gear. A parking pad offers additional space for tenant or guest parking. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block just south of all the dining, shops, and nightlife that Albany Park has to offer, and blocks away from Horner Park with its river walk, farmer's markets, and dog park, this home truly features the best of city living. Enjoy easy access to bike paths, CTA trains and buses, the Kennedy Expressway, and grocery stores. In a housing market where so many two-flats are being converted into single-family homes, this is a rare opportunity to own a fully rehabbed two-flat that lives the way it was meant to. House hack and let upstairs tenants pay part of the mortgage, or live with family or friends when their lease is up. Make an offer and move in soon!
