beautifully updated and expanded two-flat
Beautifully updated and expanded brick 2-Flat in the heart of Lincoln Square, with finished basement and garage roof deck! This home has been meticulously maintained, and shows a true pride of ownership. If you're looking for a truly move-in ready property in the neighborhood, this is it! The owners' unit (floor 1) has gleaming hardwood floors, which start from the formal entry foyer and through the separate living and dining rooms. The renovated, white kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances connects to its own laundry room - intelligently designed with built-ins surrounding the full-sized, stackable washer & dryer, in combination with your mudroom/rear entry. This floor enjoys two large bedrooms plus an updated bath, and has the flexibility to duplex to the lower level if you like. The second floor is light and bright, with a massive open living room that enjoys separate office alcove & steps out to a private balcony overlooking the tree-lined street. There's also a formal dining room, which leads to the updated kitchen: rich cabinetry, granite counters & stainless steel appliances. There's also two spacious bedrooms (both can fit a king sized bed), updated bathroom with window & in-unit laundry. Both units have separate central air/heat. The basement is the perfect additional/bonus living space. The current owners use it as an additional guest suite & home office: it has a large living/dining room area, with 2 bedrooms & updated full bathroom. There's also enough space to add a kitchen/kitchenette if you need. Outside, the improvements continue: New, extra-tall garage with (12) foot tall door is perfect for your camper vans, or to use as storage or workshop. It has soaring 14 foot ceilings. The roof deck atop it seemingly floats above the rest of the neighborhood, offering views of the tree-tops and the downtown skyline, with pergola for privacy. With the connection to the landscaped, fully enclosed backyard with stamped concrete patio, and the covered front porch, this home's abundance of outdoor spaces delivers! 2235 W. Leland is perfect as configured, but could also be converted to a single family home with its prime location: great for those wanting space & updates. Recent Updates: Roof (2019), Windows (2022), A/C (2023) plus solar panels (2021). The location is sublime: 1 block to Lincoln Avenue and all its terrific dining and shopping, Davis Movie Theater, plus easy access to the CTA Brown Line and Bus Stops on Western. Also convenient to the Chicago River, and with easy street parking. It's all here...come home!
