Come see this one-of-a-kind, over-sized (nearly 4K sqft), 6 bedroom/3 full bathroom home, nestled away on Oglesby Avenue, one of South Shore's most charming streets! It's like buying two homes for the price of one with 2 main levels of living, lots of flex space, plus a fully renovated basement that offers it's own full kitchen, full bath, bedroom/living space (large enough for a pool table!) and private entrance. The basement is perfect for generating extra rental income or for a multi-generational household! Welcome your guests with a beautiful entryway featuring sweeping wrap around windows, beautiful hardwood floors, and molding. Let the sun shine right into the front sunroom, formal living room, and formal dining room. Stay warm all winter with the woodburning fireplace, and enjoy a summer cookout from your back patio deck and backyard. Inside you have so many options! The main level features two adjoining bedrooms connected by a closet, currently used as an office and media room. There are too many closets in this home to count and several rooms currently used for storage in the basement that could be converted to a gym/office/flex space. Large laundry room, two-car garage, 5 window a/c units plus ceiling fans, and a beautiful block with long-time neighbors, make this home a winner!! Walk to the South Shore Golf Course & Beach, visit nearby Jackson park and the Obama Presidential Center (coming soon) in just minutes. 10 minute drive to University of Chicago, and 20 minutes to the heart of downtown! Easy transportation and highway access. The home is well-loved by long-time owner who put a lot of care into it, and it is now ready for the next owner to give it a little TLC and take it into the next 25 years! Come see this home in person!
