Description
Set on a quiet, tree-lined one-way street in the heart of Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, 2542 W Coyle presents a rare opportunity to own a full brick single-family home being offered for the first time in over 25 years. Built in 1925, this home carries the kind of old-world character that's increasingly hard to find-highlighted by its timeless brick facade, classic window design that brings in beautiful natural light, and generously sized bedrooms that reflect the craftsmanship of its era. Hardwood floors run throughout, adding warmth and continuity across the main living spaces. The main level features a full bathroom, with an additional bath in the basement, offering everyday functionality while maintaining the home's original charm. It's the perfect blend of preserved character and opportunity-where the structure and story are already in place, and the interior can be tailored to your vision. The finished basement provides additional living space with room for creativity-whether you envision a home gym, media room, office, or expanded living area. Upstairs, the second-floor attic with tall ceilings opens the door for a meaningful expansion, giving you the ability to add bedrooms, a primary suite, or another bathroom over time. This is a home where you can respect its history while making it your own. While the property has been very well maintained over the years, it does present an opportunity for updating and rehabbing to bring it to today's standards, including older mechanicals, appliances, roof, windows, and brick tuckpointing. Located just moments from Devon Avenue, you're surrounded by a vibrant mix of restaurants, cafes, and local culture, including Ghareeb Nawaz, Uru-Swati, and Charmers Cafe. With nearby parks, everyday conveniences, and fitness options like LA Fitness, this location offers both neighborhood charm and city accessibility-making it an ideal place to put down roots and create something truly your own.
