Pre-Foreclosure Opportunity! This is your rare chance to get a Rogers Park single family home for under $400K! Tucked on a quiet block in Rogers Park, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath frame cottage has the character and flexibility that are hard to find in the neighborhood. Tall first-floor ceilings make the main level feel open and airy, and a sunny bay window brightens the living room. The kitchen has warm wood paneling that gives it a cozy, lived-in charm. The layout works for many lifestyles. There's a bedroom on the main level, two bedrooms upstairs, and room in the basement for additional sleeping, office, or flex space. Laundry is also in the basement. Outside, the totally private side yard is ready for summer dinners, gardening, or a quiet morning coffee. A one-car garage means you can skip the winter street-parking hunt. Across the street, a natural green barrier gives you peaceful views and an unusual sense of space for city living. You're 2 blocks from the Rogers Park Metra and Branch Library, a half mile from the Morse Red Line, and just around the corner from Clark Street's restaurants and shopping. Serious buyers only - "as-is" sale.
