About This Property
Meet Bertha, The Purple House. A current community staple and
positive landmark that's guaranteed to make the next owners the
talk of the town. Be prepared to chat with passersby (young and
old) as they stop to compliment your dream home. Take the perfectly
matched pink door on the right, head upstairs, and the entryway
opens into the living room. The three east-facing windows provide
natural lighting throughout the day. Just off the living room is
your office nook complete with built-in shelving and desks. Remote
workers rejoice with another window perfectly placed to glance out
at passing pups for a quick break from their computer screens. The
dining room has two south-facing windows that again provide natural
lighting and an open-air feeling. The second bedroom is presently
used as a bike room. Did we mention how close the 606 is?
Well, you can see it out your front door. The living room,
office, dining room, and second bedroom have hardwood flooring. The
kitchen is just west of the dining room. It features quartz
countertops, a tiled backsplash, ceramic flooring, stainless steel
appliances, and cabinets so deep you'll definitely lose your
Tupperware lids. Just north of the kitchen is the full bathroom
with a tub. There is a door, don't be fooled like the current
owners. It's a pocket door, and it took them a solid 2 months to
find it. The primary bedroom has hardwood floors and natural
lighting with one south-facing window and two west-facing windows.
The laundry (new washer & dryer), storage, and stairwell to the
courtyard are just north of the primary bedroom. As we
explore the first floor where the tenants live, let's start at the
front door, which is equally the perfect shade of pink, on the
left. As we enter the living room, we are again surrounded by
natural lighting from the three east-facing windows. The full bath
with a tub is located north of the living room and separated by the
utility closet. Who doesn't want their guests to know exactly where
the restroom is as soon as they enter their house? Bedroom three is
presently used by the tenants as their office. Previous tenants
have used it as a music studio or meditation room. The kitchen is
just west of the dining room and features stainless steel
appliances, and the second bedroom is just north of the kitchen.
It's great for craft supplies for all the hobbies you were "meaning
to start". It can also be a bedroom if you're into that. The
primary bedroom is located just beyond the kitchen at the back of
the home and is supported by the full bathroom and the laundry
area. The living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms all have
hardwood flooring. The current owners have put a lot of love into
this property since purchasing it in 2021, including these: a new
roof and gutter system, painting the exterior the exciting color
you noticed when clicking on this home, clearing the courtyard of
massive trees and professionally rebuilt it to all its serene
glory, repaired the sidewalk, lined and fluted the chimney,
installed new central air and new furnaces in both units and
installed a new privacy fence just waiting to be painted pink. The
first level unit also had new appliances, including a washer and
dryer installed and refinished hardwood floors. More electrical
outlets were installed in each unit, and a new breaker box was
installed on the second level. Every exterior door has been
replaced. The outside of the garage was tuckpointed and has water
lines and electricity running to it. The block is quiet and yet
close to everything. You couldn't ask for a better neighborhood.
You are within walking distance of great restaurants, shopping,
groceries, yoga, and the 606. Humboldt Park, the best park, is
nearby for all your outdoor activity needs. This home and location
really does have it all. We can't forget to mention Bertha's Book
Exchange. The Free Little Library is located out front, stocked
with books and dog treats to invite those positive vibes to
Rockwell.
