Property Description 3214 N Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60618
Have you been looking for an opportunity to live in one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods? Well...your search may have just ended! This Roscoe Village single-family home on a ***41' x 120' lot*** adjacent to Fellger Park and within the Audubon school district, provides a multitude of options. Whether you seek to be an owner-occupant or a straight up investor, keep reading. This home is currently two full levels of living space with 9 rooms, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms, and an unfinished basement. Upon entry, you're greeted by a foyer that leads you into the Living Room, supplying ample space for relaxing and entertaining. Enjoy daily meals or getting together with your loved ones in the formal and separate Dining Room. The Kitchen boasts a beautifully refinished China cabinet and enough capacity for an additional eating area. The sizes of the Bedrooms on the main level reflect the times when this abode was built. The Bathroom on this floor was recently renovated and homes a brand-new shower. Off the Kitchen, the back porch provides a sanctuary where you can embrace the sun and weather as you enjoy your morning coffee or simply relax after a long day. Head upstairs and you'll be wowed by the primary suite that was designed by the current owner, with all newer electrical & plumbing, dormered ceiling, its own furnace, an extensive Bathroom, and three closets throughout (two walk-ins). Laundry can be found in the Basement, which is full, dry, and solidly constructed. Since it's worth mentioning again, you'd own an extra wide lot, which is not common in this neighborhood, resulting in a backyard, side yard, and 2+ car garage. Dual zoned heating, cooling, and hot water systems that are well-cared for annually (with a newer 3-ton A/C (2022)). Copper plumbing throughout. Home is considerably insulated and soundproofed. All work was fully permitted when completed. Bonus: there is an installed and owned security alarm system. All you pay for is the yearly monitoring. (Garage has its own separate alarm system.) What's in the neighborhood? Surrounded by Damen, Belmont, Western & Lincoln Aves and Roscoe St, there's an abundance of cuisines to enjoy & small businesses to support. Shop for groceries at Whole Foods, Mariano's, Jewel, Wild Fork, Costco, or Fresh Thyme - all within minutes. (And Lane Tech is just under a mile away.) Living here, you'll understand why they call Roscoe Village "The Village Within the City". What possibilities lay ahead? You can purchase this home and make it your own before moving in or as time goes on. Looking to expand this home to its fullest potential? Working together with your architect or designer and general contractor, turn your vision into reality. Perhaps you could even think about teaming up with a builder or developer to create the forever home you've been dreaming of. For you investors out there, consider these alternatives: A) Keep the existing property and convert the second level to an ADU (psst...the plumbing is located behind the walls to create an upstairs Kitchen). Voila! Now you've got multi-generational living, with the possibility of rental income. B) Build a custom 'mansion' in Roscoe Village, Multi-Unit property, or 4 to 5 attached single family homes. With a 41' x 120' lot (4,920 sqft) and RT-4 zoning, the max total gross floor area = 5,904 sqft! Prospective Buyers are more than welcome to check out the exterior [ONLY], from a public space (sidewalk, alley, or adjacent Fellger Park). HOWEVER, please do NOT walk onto the property and do NOT disturb the current occupant(s). Information on MLS is assumed to be accurate, but NOT guaranteed. Buyer/Buyer's Agent should verify all relevant MLS information. Whether you're looking to get into or upgrade within Roscoe Village, this is your chance to make it happen.
