Property Description
This well-maintained brick multifamily property presents a compelling investment opportunity with both strong in-place income and significant upside potential. The asset is currently configured as a 6-unit building with a 7th non-conforming unit (4R), which is presently duplexed into the 3rd-floor rear unit (3R), creating an expansive 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence. The remaining units offer a desirable unit mix, with two units already renovated, allowing investors to immediately benefit from increased rents while continuing to execute a value-add strategy across the balance of the property. Additional features include a 2-car garage, basement storage, and common laundry, further enhancing tenant appeal and operational efficiency. Located just steps from the CTA Pink Line, the property offers excellent accessibility and strong rental demand driven by proximity to public transit and surrounding neighborhood amenities. Ownership has secured approvals to expand the property to a total of 9 units, including the addition of two affordable units, providing a clear path to increased density and long-term value creation. With the ability to further renovate units and capitalize on the approved expansion, this offering represents an attractive opportunity for investors seeking both stabilized cash flow and meaningful upside in a transit-oriented location.
