About this home
There's a quiet dignity to this North Side Colonial, a home that has stood the test of time and now waits for its next chapter to be written. With four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and timeless character throughout, 702 Abbott St offers a rare canvas for someone ready to blend old-world charm with their own personal vision. Inside, the craftsmanship of a bygone era still shines. Rich wood moldings, gleaming hardwood floors, and generous proportions speak to a quality you simply don't find in newer construction. The large eat-in kitchen anchors daily life, while a spacious family room invites comfortable gatherings. The primary bedroom indulges with four closets, yes, four--solving a problem most homes only dream about. Up in the attic, a surprising bonus awaits: a private bedroom outfitted with built-in lighted bookcases, custom drawers, and its very own full bath. Practical updates already in place include central air, a newer roof, and a sump pump, giving you a solid foundation to build upon. Outside, a welcoming front porch sets the tone, while a detached garage and convenient N. 7th Street driveway add everyday function. Being sold strictly AS IS by the estate, this property is your opportunity to restore, reimagine, and make it truly yours. Situated near multiple houses of worship, Highland Park High School, a nearby bus stop, shopping, and the HP library, the location couldn't be more convenient. Bring your visionthis classic beauty is ready for a fresh start.
