Property Description
Incredible Investment Opportunity in Prime Location! This solid three-unit building offers exceptional potential with three legal units - a rare find in the heart of Chicago's vibrant Andersonville neighborhood. The first-floor and second-floor units each feature 2 spacious bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, offering comfortable layouts ideal for tenants or owner-occupants. Both units boast large windows for natural light, hardwood floors, and generous living spaces. The garden-level unit (Unit G) is currently unfinished (all city permits are ready to transfer to new owner), presenting a perfect opportunity for rehab - all plumbing has been completed including a new water main all the way to the city line, so you can customize and add value with ease, all work done to code and with city permits. Whether you're an investor looking to generate rental income or a homeowner interested in duplexing or house-hacking, this building has incredible upside. Zoned as a legal three-flat, it offers flexibility and long-term value. Don't miss this chance to invest in one of Chicago's most dynamic and appreciating neighborhoods! Property sold as is.
