This inviting Bay View home is located in the heart of a highly walkable, community-driven area. The property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the energy, convenience, and neighborhood charm Bay View is known for; all from a quiet residential street just steps from local favorites.
Built in 1919, the home delivers timeless character and craftsmanship that define early Bay View residences. The property offers a unique combination of historic charm, everyday functionality, and proximity to some of the city’s best dining, shopping, parks, and lakefront amenities.
This classic single-family home is thoughtfully laid out for comfortable living, blending original character with practical space.
With a little vision, buyers have the opportunity to further enhance the home’s value. The potential to add a carport and air conditioning allows future owners to customize the property to their lifestyle while still securing an amazing and affordable single-family home in Bay View; a neighborhood where value and walkability continue to drive strong demand.
One of the most valuable aspects of the property is its exceptional walkability. From coffee shops and restaurants to South Shore Park and the lakefront, this neighborhood supports an active, connected lifestyle that continues to attract buyers year after year.
This home appeals to buyers seeking character, location, and long-term value and who recognize the upside in a well-located property with room for thoughtful improvements.
This is not a property that can be fully appreciated online. The street, walkability, and surrounding community must be experienced in person. We’re happy to give you a list of our favorite places as your starting point!

In early 2025, home buying regulation changed. A “seller’s agent” has a set of legal and ethical responsibilities to the seller, which places their interests first. A “buyer’s agent” has a set of legal and ethical responsibilities to the buyer, placing your interests first. If you are buying a home today, it is in your best interest to have your own legally bound buyer’s agent representing you.
