Opportunity knocks on coveted Castlewood Road! This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits on a generous 1/3-acre lot in one of Highland Park's most established neighborhoods - and it's ready for someone with the vision to bring it back to its full glory. Built in 1956 with the solid bones of mid-century construction, this 1,616 sq ft property offers the kind of square footage and lot size that buyers simply can't find at this price point in 60035. In addition to the 1,616 sq ft of above-grade living space, the property includes over 700 sq ft of additional space that is largely above grade, featuring a spacious family room and a furnace/laundry room with ample natural light. There is also a 700+ sq ft basement converted from a crawl space, featuring a lifetime transferable waterproofing warranty. The basement has passed inspection by the City of Highland Park and would only require the addition of a staircase to complete. Whether you're an investor, a DIY enthusiast, or a buyer looking to build instant equity, this is the canvas you've been waiting for. The spacious lot offers plenty of room to grow - think expanded outdoor living, lush landscaping, or simply the breathing room that's increasingly rare in today's market. Add in both an attached and detached garage, and you've got serious flexibility right from day one. Priced to reflect its as-is condition, this is your chance to get into Highland Park at a compelling entry point - and create exactly the home you've always wanted, down to every last detail. Properties with this combination of lot, location, and upside don't come around often. Bring your contractor, bring your creativity, and bring your best offer.
