Property Description
Nestled in the heart of historic Bronzeville, 441 E. 42nd Street presents a rare chance to own a classic Chicago greystone in one of the city's most dynamic and culturally rich neighborhoods. Spanning more than 4,000 square feet above grade, this updated three-unit building offers remarkable versatility for investors and owner-occupants alike. Updated in 2021, the property lends itself to a variety of living and investment strategies. Continue operating it as an income-producing multi-unit, live in one residence while generating rental income from the others, or explore the potential to convert it into a stunning single-family home (subject to city approvals). The first-floor unit extends into the basement, creating a spacious duplex layout with opportunities for additional living space, a private guest suite, or flexible recreation and work-from-home areas. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Chicago, Lake Shore Drive, the Green Line, and the lakefront, residents enjoy convenient access to neighborhood restaurants, parks, shopping, entertainment, and Bronzeville's rich history and thriving arts community.
