Come walk this amazing, over-sized, one-story, solid-brick, raised-ranch with over 1700 sqft on the main level PLUS a full, mostly-finished basement that adds even more living space in this beautifully preserved pocket of historic Calumet City! Stretched, concrete front porch brings you back to Old-Chicago and leads you into an open living, dinning room & generously-sized kitchen, updated at one point with tons of cabinets and counter-top space thanks to the peninsula! Home offers a double-sided, gas fireplace, carpeting that is in great shape but is covering up the beautiful, original hardwood flooring ready for refinishing. 3 generously-sized bedrooms, one and a half baths, and an extra-large breezeway (All on the main level) that can double as a second family room, office, or bonus room and not only attaches the home to the, also extra-large 2.5 car garage, but also to the tremendous back yard once the center of the neighborhood. Partially finished basement once home to all the families gatherings and celebrations with one-of-a-kind Southside Bar and second half bathroom, and larger-than-most, unfinished laundry room and storage. Newer water heater, fully functional mechanicals, and a newer, well-maintained boiler with heater floors throughout! Property is being sold as-is but is a perfect, affordable starter home or rental!
