Chicago, IL 60625

A true Chicago classic, this well maintained all-brick 2-flat in the heart of Albany Park is coming to market for the first time in generations - and it shows the pride of long-term owner occupancy at every turn. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by a stunning shared entry foyer featuring original oak woodwork, a staircase with turned balusters, and solid wood doors that speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Both units offer 3 spacious bedrooms, hardwood floors throughout, and well-appointed kitchens featuring maple cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Elegant original details shine across both floors - from a decorative fireplace with a beautiful oak mantle and decorative columns, to crown molding and arched doorways. The sun-drenched front living rooms in each unit are wrapped in windows on three sides, bathing the spaces in natural light throughout the day - a truly rare and uplifting feature. Updated bathrooms, central air and heat, a shared basement with laundry and an additional bathroom, a private backyard, and a 2-car garage round out this exceptional property. Walk to the CTA Brown Line and Jefferson Park Metra, with quick access to I-90/94, O'Hare, and the scenic North Branch Trail just steps away. Whether you're an owner-occupant or a seasoned investor seeking a solid, character-filled Chicago asset - this is the one you've been waiting for.
