4204 South Maplewood AvenueChicago, IL 60632Price: $375,000

Some homes are simply owned. Others are kept. 4204 S. Maplewood belongs to the second kind. For years, this Brighton Park two-flat has been cared for the way families care for things they intend to pass down - a new roof, new concrete patio and walkways, and countless other quiet details that speak to how deeply this home has been cared for. The hard work is done; the next chapter is waiting to be written. Inside, the home lives generously. The main level offers 3-bedrooms and 1.25-baths, while the second-floor residence mirrors that ease with three well-proportioned bedrooms and two full baths. Below, a finished basement adds a recreation room, gym, or gathering area today, and a canvas for whatever tomorrow calls for. It is a home that adapts to the life you bring to it. Live on one floor while rental income solidly carries the mortgage, keep generations together under one roof, or add a proven, well-kept asset to your portfolio. The structure is the same; the story is yours to choose. Outside, a private backyard becomes the heart of it all - summer barbecues, celebrations, and relaxing evenings under the lights - with a two-car garage for everyday convenience and storage. Set in one of Brighton Park's most connected pockets, the home is minutes from restaurants, parks, and public transportation, with respected schools nearby including the acclaimed Horizon Science Academy Charter School. Buildings like this rarely reach the market. Improvements complete, income and ownership side by side, and pride of ownership you can see from the curb. 4204 S. Maplewood has been kept well. Now it's ready to be yours.
