These homes are more WELL-BELOW $400,000 as unfinished basements lower value, especially, no garage or even just a 1-car garage does too. Aspects of TLC like repainting walls etc. they may have that lower pricing.

A Pretty home on a standard Chicago lot right on that mark of 25' x 125', though this one has a side alleyway and back alley as these alleys go thru the city. Its walls and flooring are all Upgraded looking sharp some original features kept.
The living room has a corner gas-fireplace and a nice upgraded white cabinet kitchen (not new cabinets but painted white and still work) with brown-tone granite tops along with a sit-down bar newer kitchens have. There can be room perhaps for a small island to add?
It has its radiant (regular radiators) heat. All upgraded bathrooms and THE BASEMENT IS NICELY FINISHED with parts having the rafters exposed painted dark-brown like for the gym/computer room.
A nice size grass yard with a nice deck to a 1-car garage from the alley. This is a fairly compact home with the basement adding that extra room as another story to this home.
The Listing PHOTO OF THE HOME - shows a Cape-Cod looking home a side alley.

This home is a MID-CENTURY that did get some great upgrades, but unfinished basement lowers value. The Redfin Listing has this today. The LOWEST-PRICE point I listed, but a lot of extras and computerized features of new homes.
The full, unfinished basement features tall ceilings w/drainage system, sump pump, sink, and washer/dryer. Technology meets comfort with wifi-enabled CO/smoke detectors and thermostats, allowing you to monitor your home, even while away. The expansive lot provides plenty of room for outdoor recreation and entertainment. Located close to public transportation, the expressway, shopping, and restaurants
Built in 1949 so a early one with the new 1950s Mid-century style.
1,122 sq/ft.
- SELLING PRICE - $330,000.
Last sold in 2018 for $285,000.
