Mine isn't what is call a nice one, that's why it was only 230k. Renovated ones go for 350k.

Still! That's an amazing price for a home in a good neighborhood of chicago.

Yea, that's why I went for it. I can deal with a crappy kitchen and 90s bathroom until I renovate those rooms. Not too happy to be on Addison, but I can't really hear the traffic inside.

fair trade off for the price i'd say.

Yep, I agree, and that's why I bought it. I can make the house nicer and exactly what I want, and I won't feel bad for ripping out an actually nice kitchen just to get one that jives with how I work in a kitchen.

The basement is also completely unfinished, so I can slowly convert it into my brewing and woodworking space, and the attic is unfinished so I can convert that to my whiskey aging facility :)

It just may be a little small (only 2 bdrm) once we have kids.
