Property Description

Imagine what you could do with this unique home! Zoned as a 3 unit property, functioning as a legitimate 2 unit property, and currently utilized as a single family, the possibilities for this versatile space will surprise and delight you! Bring your plans and ideas to this Queen Anne Victorian beauty within the Historic District of Chicago Heights with a story to tell. George C. Flanner was a Lumber Baron, one of the first mayors of the village, and he built this home in 1895. You will find quality original woodwork throughout, from the carefully laid floors, to the sturdy pocket doors, the beamed ceiling of the main floor dining room, and the built in book shelves all intricately designed, and thoughtfully made with an impeccable eye for beauty and craftsmanship. Two fireplaces stand ready to keep you warm and cozy just in time for the fall, one gas, one wood burning. Your new home sits on a singular double sized lot (only one PIN), and features a welcoming, yet secluded front porch that feels like a lush, exotic retreat. The expansive rear deck provides even more outdoor space for your enjoyment and it will make for the perfect perch to view holiday fireworks, quietly have a morning cup of coffee, or laughter late into the night with friends. This home was a trendsetter, and the talk of the town, and you can make it glorious once more. Your big vision will have plenty room to create, you're invited to dream and imagine the possibilities here at 51 W 21st Street.
