Chicago, IL 60626 1946 W Estes Avenue

Imagine having your own farmhouse in the city on an extra-wide double lot! This 2 unit property was occupied by the owner, but now both units are currently rented. The 3bed/2bath on the 1st floor unit has updated electrical, stainless kitchen, and in-unit laundry room. Updated second floor 2bed/1bath unit, new kitchen, updated bathroom and in-unit laundry. Both floors have wonderful light and tons of vintage charm: high ceilings, new oversized windows, and 3 Prairie School style fireplaces designed by Marion Mahony Griffin, Frank Lloyd Wright's genius architectural illustrator, who created all of his beautiful watercolor renderings of his early work! Marion was one of the first female licensed architects in the world. This historically intriguing property is a hidden gem with beautifully landscaped gardens. The entrance on Damen is well hidden behind an arch of green foliage. The front and side yards offer several sitting areas for entertaining. Located on a tree-lined street two blocks to Metra, restaurants, shops and 8 blocks to Lake Michigan!
