South Shore Gem, just a few blocks from Rainbow Beach. Fresh off a complete 2025 renovation, this classic bungalow delivers five bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and ultra-low taxes that keep monthly costs comfortably affordable, ideal for both homeowners and investors. You'll live just a few blocks from Rainbow Beach and Lake Michigan, with the Metra Electric line an easy stroll away for a quick downtown commute and Hyde Park dining minutes to the north. Inside, a bright living-and-dining flow is anchored by brand-new vinyl plank flooring. The reimagined kitchen pairs on-trend two-tone shaker cabinetry with quartz counters and stainless-steel appliances, while two generous main-level bedrooms flank a full bath accented by luxury designer tile. Upstairs, a private loft-style suite with its own half bath makes a perfect primary retreat, guest quarters, or quiet home office. The finished lower level expands your options with two additional bedrooms, a stylish full bath, a large recreation room, convenient laundry hookups, and abundant storage. All the big-ticket items were addressed in 2025: tear-off roof, high-efficiency HVAC, new water heater, 200-amp electric service, copper plumbing, and fresh interior and exterior paint, giving you years of worry-free ownership. Outside, an extra-deep, secluded lot-accessed from the alley between 76th Place and 77th Street, offers gated off-street parking and future garage potential. Morning beach runs, afternoon rounds at South Shore Golf Course, and evenings exploring neighborhood eateries are all at your doorstep. Whether you need space for the whole family or seek a turnkey rental in a high-demand lakefront area, this move-in-ready home delivers location, lifestyle, and exceptional value. Schedule your showing today, before this South Shore treasure is gone!
