About this home
Brimming with character and charm, this distinctive 1926 brick home has a fascinating history and a personality all its own! Set on a desirable corner lot, this two-bedroom, two-bath property offers over 2,000 square feet of living space and a wonderfully unique, versatile layout that sets it apart from the ordinary. One of its most captivating features is the former storefront, now converted into an impressive studio-style space where historical charm meets urban loft style! Soaring ceilings, expansive windows that fill the room with natural light, beautiful hardwood flooring, and striking built-in shelving create an atmosphere that celebrates the building's original character. The studio also features its own kitchen and a full bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower, adding to the functionality of this remarkable space. The rear portion of the home offers a traditional residential layout, featuring an inviting living room with elegant French doors opening to a separate dining room, a spacious eat-in kitchen with wood cabinetry and a walk-in pantry, two comfortable bedrooms, and a second full bathroom. Beautiful hardwood floors and rich wood trim lend warmth and timeless appeal throughout much of the interior. An enclosed porch provides additional usable space, while the full unfinished basement offers abundant storage. Enjoy a convenient Brookfield location across from Lincoln Elementary School, near Ehlert Park, and with access to Metra commuter rail service. With its distinctive architecture, intriguing history, and extraordinary versatility, this property offers an opportunity unlike most! The property is being sold as-is.
Great investment opportunity!
