Property Description
Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, this classic Chicago three-flat is located in the heart of Lakeview. Ideal for investors or owner-occupants, the property offers a great "house hacking" setup-live in the spacious owner's duplex-down while generating rental income from the two generously sized upper units. Throughout the building, vintage character is paired with modern improvements. Each unit features tall ceilings, oversized windows, hardwood floors, original woodwork, decorative fireplaces, and separate living and dining areas. Updated kitchens include stainless steel appliances, dishwashers, ample cabinetry, and modern finishes. Each residence also has its own HVAC system and in-unit washer and dryer, providing the conveniences today's renters expect. Spanning two levels, the owner's duplex-down offers generous living space and plenty of flexibility. The expansive kitchen features warm wood cabinetry, stone countertops, upgraded appliances, a large island, and abundant storage. Updated bathrooms, flexible office or workout space, multiple living areas, and direct access to the rear outdoor space make it an ideal owner's residence. A brand-new roof, private rear decks, a patio and courtyard area, and three off-street parking spaces add to the property's appeal. Impeccably cared for and updated throughout, this is a turnkey multifamily property near dining, shopping, nightlife, public transportation, and everything Lakeview has to offer. Move in, rent out, or add a strong asset to your investment portfolio.
