About this home
Step into a piece of Berwyn history at 2812 Ridgeland Avenue! Originally serving as the Berwyn Post Office and a grocery with living quarters in the rear, this property offers a unique opportunity to bring new life to a home with character you simply don't find in newer construction. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout features an open great room with exposed brick and skylights that bring in natural light. A partial basement provides additional storage and includes laundry and a full bath, while the detached 2-car garage and fenced yard add everyday functionality. This is a great opportunity for a buyer who is looking to create something truly their own. Conveniently located near neighborhood parks, shopping, dining, public transportation, and major roadways, with easy access to the surrounding western suburbs and Chicago. Just minutes from both Janura Park and Proksa Park, with nearby bus service and Metra access for commuters.

Clyde, located between the Cicero Avenue corridor and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, is a residential and industrial Cicero neighborhood with brick two-flats and rail-side warehouses. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the busy Cicero Avenue and 26th Street crossroads, where auto shops, taquerias, and small storefronts line the traffic-heavy blocks. Hawthorne Race Course anchors the area with grandstand scale and event-day energy. The Clyde Park District site adds courts and open space amid tight street grids. Freight lines and wide arterials shape the soundscape, while bungalow-lined side streets keep the architecture grounded.
