Description

Currently a profitable long-term rental, with possibility to increase rents above 6k/mo. Live as the owner in the duplex up and generate rental income from the garden unit, or build your dream home by deconverting the 2-flat into a generous 3 story single family on one of Chicago's best blocks. Currently fully leased, this property can be delivered with tenants, if desired. This well-maintained Lakeview two-flat offers exceptional investment value with a proven track record of consistent rental income, featuring below-market rents with substantial room for growth. Located just 2 blocks from the Wellington Brown Line and minutes from Southport Corridor and Wrigleyville amenities, the property includes a spacious 3-bedroom duplex unit spanning two levels with open concept living, large windows, and two bathrooms; plus a great 2-bedroom ground-floor apartment with good natural light and in-unit laundry. The building showcases quality finishes throughout, including mahogany kitchen cabinets with burled oak inlays, glass tile backsplash, marble bathrooms with Jacuzzi tub, and desirable amenities like a two-car garage with extended pad for additional parking or potential outdoor deck expansion. Broker is related to owner. Do not disturb tenants.
