Property Description
Amazing brick 2-flat opportunity in Portage Park, situated on an oversized 35' x 125' lot. This property offers excellent upside potential by duplexing the first-floor unit into the lower level, which features good ceiling height and an existing bathroom. The front stairwell is configured to allow for a straightforward entryway modification, seamlessly connecting the two levels. Once completed, the duplex-down unit could offer either 3 beds / 2 baths or 4 beds / 2 baths. Both units are currently configured with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The second-floor unit features an enclosed rear porch that has been incorporated into the living space and works perfectly as an office or den. Additional highlights include basement laundry, a two-car detached garage, and a separate parking pad for a third vehicle. This property is an excellent alternative to a single-family home, with the added benefit of rental income to help balance ownership costs. The first-floor tenant will vacate at the end of September. Please refer to the showing schedule for prearranged showing times.
