Property Description

Situated on highly sought-after Newark Avenue, this stone and brick Cape Cod is a true Old Norwood Park gem, hitting the market for the first time in nearly four decades. It's a home with incredible bones and a distinct character that's ready for its next chapter. The main level offers a classic layout featuring a bright living and dining area, along with an impressive expanded rear room centered around a cozy fireplace. The kitchen flows seamlessly toward the outdoors, where patio doors open to a private Trek deck and a spacious backyard. Privacy is a highlight here, with the primary suite occupying its own dedicated floor, complete with an ensuite bath and a "secret" attic space that offers fantastic potential for extra storage. Two additional well-sized bedrooms and a full bath are located on the second level, providing a comfortable and versatile floor plan. Constructed with solid stone and brick, this home has been well-maintained over the years but is priced to reflect the opportunity for modern updates. Whether you're looking to preserve its vintage charm or bring in a contemporary vision, the potential is undeniable. This is an estate sale being sold strictly as-is. Don't miss the chance to plant roots in one of the most storied pockets of the city.
