Fantastic SINGLE FAMILY HOME alternative in DEWEY. Enjoy the spacious 3 bed, 2 bath owner's unit on the 2nd & 3rd floors while the 1st floor RENT PAYS PROPERTY TAXES & ~$12K OF MORTGAGE. With ~3,000sf above grade & another ~1,100 in the basement this is also a great candidate for a SINGLE FAMILY HOME CONVERSION. The owner's unit is beautiful! Being up on the 2nd floor & south facing, the living room is flooded with light. And in colder months, it is warmed by a WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE with gas start. In the dining room BAY WINDOWS make the whole space bright & airy. Two bedrooms on this level, both with great closet space, as well as a full bath. UPDATED KITCHEN with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, cherry cabinets & a butcher block island. Sliding doors to Juliet balcony overlooking back yard. Up on the 3rd floor there is a large FAMILY ROOM (currently used as an art studio), the 3rd bedroom with CATHEDRAL CEILINGS, & a large full bath with a soaking tub. SKYLIGHTS in bed and bath. First floor rental unit is super-cute and has been rented on AirBnB by the sellers. Double parlor living room + dining room, again with BAY WINDOWS in the dining room. 2 bedrooms with good closet space. Newer bath and newer KITCHEN WITH DISHWASHER. This would rent for at least $2,000 / month. Separate utilities. CENTRAL AIR in both units. Shared laundry in basement. HARDWOOD FLOORS on 1st and 2nd, bamboo on 3rd. Wide, welcoming FRONT PORCH & huge BACK DECK with built-out seating. Super-charming back yard complete with pond (currently drained), bridge and pergola. Newer 2 car garage. FANTASTIC WALKABLE LOCATION just 3 blocks from PENNY PARK, 4 from Cherry Preschool, 5 from DEWEY ELEMENTARY & less than a mile to downtown Evanston & the Metra / El. The very best of urban-suburban living!
