Property Description
Discover this promising legal 3-unit building located in the vibrant Humboldt Park neighborhood. Each of the three units features two bedrooms and one bathroom, with the first and second-floor residences offering separate living rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens. Tenants enjoy individual control over their own boilers and water heaters, and the second-floor boiler was recently replaced in 2025. The property includes a shared common area with free laundry facilities, a large backyard, and a 1.5-car garage. While the roof is estimated to be 15-20 years old and most appliances are original, the first-floor stove and range were updated in 2025. Currently, all tenants are on month-to-month leases, providing flexibility for new ownership. Situated in the northwest corner of Humboldt Park, residents are just a short drive from the park's extensive amenities, including tennis courts, the beach and lagoon, the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture, and various sports fields, while also benefiting from proximity to local grocery options, public transportation, and popular dining spots.
