Property Description
A classic Chicago corner building in Humboldt Park. This turn-of-the-20th-century turreted brick two-flat is one block from the 606 trail. Currently owner-occupied, the first floor unit is a former corner store with tin ceilings and a desirable 22' wide open floor plan. This unit is a truly unique space featuring one lofted bedroom plus den, multiple closets, and in-unit washer/dryer. The second floor unit is a spacious three bedroom/one bath with a private rear porch overlooking a large yard. Tenants are currently paying $2400/month. The over-sized garage holds two cars and room for storage and a workspace. The property also has a driveway curb cut and parking pad for two additional cars, accessible from Wabansia Ave. A full basement covering the entire footprint of the building includes laundry for the tenants, as well as the building's boiler and hot water heaters. Extensive renovations in 2007 included copper plumbing and updated electric. Roof received a new layer in 2012. This location is convenient to the McCormick YMCA, and the retail and restaurants of Logan Square and Wicker Park. Full of possibility and cash flow potential.
