5823 South Melvina, Chicago IL 60638
Property Description
In the heart of the city in one of Chicago's "younger" neighborhoods Garfield Ridge sits this gem of a 1950's 3 bedroom brick bungalow. It has hardwood floors (under the carpet to the best of seller's knowledge) in the living room and 2 of the bedrooms, plaster walls with coved ceilings and kitchen with eat-in area. Basement was waterproofed for peace of mind. The furnace and central air are only 7 years young. Two car garage has a party door perfect for the upcoming summer entertaining months. Check out this low price and think of the equity you can make on your own. Walking distance to Wentworth park and a short drive to many others park districts. I think you will agree GR has a southside suburban experience, but the plethora of transportation modes puts them in touch with the downtown scene as the Loop district is just 12 miles to the north. Better hurry this won't last.

Explore Garfield Ridge
The southwest Chicago neighborhood of Garfield Ridge manages to retain its original rural charm while seamlessly melding urban culture and suburban design. This odd hodgepodge results in an idyllic spot for families, people transitioning to the Chicago area, and anyone who enjoys having a house and yard, but likes to jet into the city at the drop of a hat. With Midway Airport next door, you could jet to any city at the drop of a hat really – but most Garfield Ridge residents prefer to stick to their own neighborhood, which is big on traditional comfort food and friendly pubs. Mom-and-pop bakeries and family-run diners are all the rage in Garfield Ridge, but it's still easy to get a good slice of pizza or slab of ribs whenever the mood strikes.
