Description

Located in desirable Cordova Park on a spacious one-third acre corner lot, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home offers generously sized rooms designed for comfortable everyday living. The classic Chicago brick exterior, a hallmark of the neighborhood, adds timeless 1960s charm and character. Significant recent investments in the home's infrastructure provide peace of mind and long-term savings. The most notable improvement was the installation of 18 hurricane-impact windows in 2018. Additional major updates include a new roof and water heater, both installed in 2025. While much of the home's interior retains its original character, the primary bathroom was completely gutted and beautifully renovated in 2025. Features include a glass-enclosed quartz-tiled shower, new double vanity, updated lighting, and modern finishes. New commodes were also installed in two of the home's three bathrooms. The home showcases desirable period details, including smooth ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with Chicago brick accents, and built-in bookcases. One of the property's greatest assets is the exceptional room sizes. Despite no walls ever being moved, the home offers a spacious 19'5" x 17'3" den, a 15'9" x 15'1" living room, and even a large 15'2" x 8' laundry room. Three of the four bedrooms are oversized, reflecting an era when generous living spaces were both affordable and expected. Additional amenities include a two-car garage, mudroom with half bath, a backyard deck added last year, a storage building, and gutters. Combining solid construction, valuable updates, classic architectural details, and expansive living spaces, this Cordova Park home is a rare opportunity to enjoy both character and comfort in one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods.
