Located where Avondale meets Logan Square, on a quiet and established block where parking is easy to come by, this legal two unit building is solid, oversized, a single family alternative, and updated/turnkey but with potential in the lower level which has both front and rear access and ceiling height over 7' at its lowest point. In 2017, with the assistance of a Chicago architect, the 4 bed/2 bath duplex up was reconfigured, the kitchen was put in the middle for a welcoming gathering space, and multiple separate larger living areas were created. The sunny kitchen is a delight to cook in, with big windows, range hood, tons of counter space and a large granite island. Whirlpool appliances. The former attic, with its own kitchenette, full bathroom, large bedroom, and even larger bonus room, has been used since then as a home office, guest space for family and friends, as well as a successful Airbnb in 2017 and 2018. Within the last 5 years, both the plumbing and electrical services where upgraded along with substantial cosmetic renovations of both apartments, including the 3 bed/1 bath elevated first floor apartment. Each unit has its own laundry with the 1st floor unit's being located in the mostly unfinished basement which is dry and has loads of potential. There is additional finished living space in the front third of that level and it includes a 4th full bathroom. With 80% new or newer windows, water heaters from 2016, HVAC (furnace and AC with damper system) for the duplex up from 2017, and a well maintained boiler for the first floor unit and lower level, there's really not much that needs to be done here. The garage is special in that it has a very tall door so bring your pickup or work truck. Walk to Blue Line at Logan Square or Belmont Ave. Just 2 blocks from new Avondale bars and restaurants like Mother's Ruin, Central Park Bar and Sipping Turtle Cafe. Diversey bus stop and a neighborhood grocery store are at the end of the block. Walk to Unity Park and Kosciuszko Park, which has a dog park.
