Description
This well-located property presents a prime investment opportunity. This two-unit converted residential rental is situated directly across the street from the Illinois Wesleyan University Library and campus, and less than five hundred feet from historic Franklin Park. Unit 1 offers two bedrooms and one bathroom, while Unit 2 features two or three bedrooms and one bathroom. Each unit has its own private entrance and access to a partially finished basement with shared laundry (approximately 9' x 10'). The basement includes finished rooms with storage, an egress window, and a bonus half bathroom. Additional highlights include extra off-street parking behind the house, a "through" driveway, and a storage shed. Major improvements include a new roof (2018), updated furnace and central air (2007), new front porch flooring (2025), refinished original hardwood floors (2025), all new interior paint, and new kitchen appliances in Unit 1. The property offers flexible income potential: rent by the room, lease by the unit, or owner-occupy one unit while renting the other. Utilities include shared water, gas and electric. Conversion back to a single-family residence is also possible.
