About 5442 N California Ave

Let's make a deal! Estate situation. The home is pretty much "original", owner is in the process of modernizing & sprucing up, however, he is willing to stop at any point and let the buyer take over the project, he states, "let's talk". Brick contemporary split level on a 54' wide lot featuring a storage shed and a fenced back yard. This attractive brick home has the potential to be a real show stopper with extra high sloped ceilings in the main living area! Imagine opening up the kitchen to the dining/living room featuring walls of glass. It appears there is indeed a fireplace behind the living room drywall. Lower level family/recreation room. New HVAC in 2022. Attached garage and a nice sized laundry room. Very near Legion park and trails, Winnemac Park, Northridge Prep, North Park University, Galter Life Center and Swedish North Shore Hospital. All real and personal property to be sold as-is/where-is.
