House and Apartment for Sale By Owner - $275,000. I am selling my 100 year old house after 35 great years in this terrific neighborhood. DeVictor Place is one of the most desirable streets in Highland Park: near the upper entrance to the park, only one block long, wonderful neighbors, quiet, safe. It is a formerly single-family house that was remodeled to have a separate one-bedroom apartment on the first floor. (Legal – zoned R-2) It can readily be returned to a single-family home but there are definite benefits to keeping the apartment. I used it for both rental income and as housing for my mother. Both situations worked out wonderfully. The rental income pays the mortgage and has excellent tax benefits. Having an older family member live with you but in separate quarters works out very well. The apartment has been consistently rented over the years without a single problem. The first floor currently is set up as a large one-bedroom apartment with wall-to-wall carpeting over oak hardwood floors which are in excellent condition, nice woodwork, full bath, fully equipped kitchen with new appliances, separate entrance, enclosed back porch. The second and third floors serve as the main house. Second floor has a full bath, equipped kitchen, dining room, living room and office/bedroom. Third floor has two bedrooms with built-out closets and a full bath with a separate water heater. The oak stairway and third floor pine floors have been completely refinished. This is a wonderful house that has been my home for 35 years. It has been well-maintained and has a rather eclectic and cozy feel to it!! Lots of windows give great lighting throughout. The front porch with its oak swing is my favorite part of the house. There is a nice size backyard with a perennial flower garden. (Rabbits not included!) Large full basement provides excellent storage and can easily be finished for living space. New furnace (forced air heat); new hot water heaters; roof in good condition with recent general maintenance work. The exterior woodwork was to have been painted last year but the painters were too busy after the bad winter; I am on the schedule for Spring painting so you would benefit by a really good price and could pick your own colors!! I will be listing it with a realtor after the first of the year but it is available now if you want to take advantage of the for-sale-by-owner discount!!! Please give me a call to arrange for a visit. Isobel Storch 412-362-1550 ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
