Property Description
Beautiful legal 3-unit building located in the highly desirable Humboldt Park neighborhood. This well-maintained property offers an exceptional opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors seeking strong rental potential in a high-demand area. The building consists of three units, including a garden-level Unit 1 and two above-grade units (Units 2 and 3). Unit 1 (garden) stands out with a thoughtfully designed 3-BEDROOM, 2-BATH open concept layout offering significantly more space and functionality than a typical garden unit. The spacious kitchen features ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and a seamless flow into the living area, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The unit offers great ceiling height, recessed lighting, and a bright, comfortable living room, along with modern finishes, updated flooring, and well-proportioned bedrooms. Units 2 and 3 each feature spacious 3-BEDROOMS, 1-BATH layouts with expansive living and dining areas, abundant natural light, and charming original woodwork throughout. Large windows create a bright, inviting atmosphere, while in-unit washer and dryer hookups add everyday convenience. UNIT 2 has been recently refreshed, professionally cleaned, and is truly move-in ready. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage, separately metered utilities, and efficient layouts designed to maximize rental income. Conveniently located just steps from Humboldt Park, and close to grocery stores, restaurants, local shops, and public transportation. The neighborhood continues to experience significant new construction and redevelopment, further driving demand and long-term appreciation, making this an especially strong investment opportunity.
