Property Description
Three floors of income potential, one rooftop to enjoy it from. Built in 1892, this classic brick 3-flat in West Town pairs a ground-floor retail/office space with two full-floor, 3-bedroom, 1-bath apartments above, plus lower-level storage, a great backyard, and a rooftop deck. The entire building is currently vacant, giving the next owner flexibility to live in one apartment and lease the other spaces, run a business on the ground floor, or lease all three units as an investment. The second and third floors each offer full-floor 1200 square foot apartments with three bedrooms and one bath. The third-floor apartment is more updated than the second, giving each residence its own character and appeal. Two of the building's three kitchens and all three bathrooms have been remodeled, adding updated spaces to the character of this historic walk-up. The ground-floor commercial space offers options for office or retail use, with lower-level storage providing additional room beyond the main floor. Outdoor space is a standout, from the backyard to the rooftop deck and irrigated raised-bed garden. The backyard's wood bricks, originally from the Merchandise Mart's old driveway, add a distinctive piece of Chicago history. Enjoy space to gather, garden, and unwind without leaving home. Set in West Town near public transportation, Mitchell Elementary School, restaurants, and shops, 2256 W Grand combines residential space, commercial space, and outdoor living in one mixed-use property, ready for its next chapter.
