Property Description
HIGHEST AND BEST DUE BY FRIDAY, 2/13 AT 5P - Rare redevelopment opportunity in the heart of Humboldt Park. Situated on a standard Chicago lot measuring approximately 3,125 sq ft (25x125) and zoned RS-3, this property offers strong potential for a single-family redevelopment, full gut rehab, or teardown. The existing structure is in need of significant renovation and is being sold as-is. While currently configured as a multi-unit, the layout and zoning lend themselves well to a single-family conversion or new construction, making this an ideal project for builders, rehabbers, or end users looking to create a custom home. Unbeatable location just steps from Humboldt Park, surrounded by vibrant restaurants, nightlife, and rich neighborhood culture, with convenient access to the 606 Trail, major expressways, and downtown Chicago. Bring your architect, builder, and vision. Buyer to verify zoning, use, and development options. Excellent opportunity in one of Chicago's most desirable and evolving neighborhoods.
