4426 N Damen Avenue

A rare opportunity in Chicago's desirable Ravenswood area! Built in 1898, this classic Victorian 2-flat with Queen Anne architectural influences makes a striking first impression with its steep front-facing gable, asymmetrical facade, projecting second-floor bay, tall, narrow proportions, decorative brackets and trim beneath the gable and eaves, and distinctive shingle treatment at the peak.This substantial, owner-occupied vintage 2-flat sits on an exceptionally deep 25' x 174' lot and offers approximately 3,445 square feet of living space-about 1,722 square feet per floor-plus a full high-ceiling attic and full basement. Loaded with original character, the home features beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings on both levels, vintage pocket doors, substantial original trim and moldings, and custom built-ins in the dining room. The first-floor residence offers three generously sized bedrooms, a large kitchen footprint and decorative faux fireplace. The second floor features four nicely sized bedrooms and a wood-burning fireplace. Beyond the two main living levels, the property offers tremendous additional space. The full attic has impressive ceiling height, while the full basement also features high ceilings and two separate entrances. Outside, the unusually deep lot provides a large, open grassy backyard with plenty of room to enjoy. Zoned RS-3, this is a property with tremendous potential and possibilities. Preserve and update it as a spacious 2-flat, explore conversion to a grand single-family residence, or investigate other potential configurations such as duplex-up/duplex-down or condominium conversion, subject to zoning and City of Chicago approvals. This is an opportunity for a buyer with vision to restore, renovate and reimagine a large vintage Ravenswood property with wonderful architectural details, substantial square footage and an exceptional lot. Property is being sold strictly "as-is." Most contents currently in the property will remain and are included with the sale, with the exception of certain personal items the seller will remove prior to closing.
