Property Description
Excellent opportunity to own a spacious 2-unit brick multifamily property on Chicago's South Side. This property offers an attractive combination of immediate rental income and flexibility for an owner-occupant or investor. The first-floor residence features a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath duplex-down and is currently vacant and ready for occupancy. The second-floor unit offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and is occupied by a long-term tenant. With one unit already generating income and the duplex-down available for immediate occupancy or lease-up, the property provides multiple options for its next owner. Live in one unit while collecting rent from the other, or lease both units to maximize the property's income potential. The full lower level incorporated into the duplex-down provides additional living space and a highly desirable unit configuration. Conveniently located with access to public transportation, neighborhood amenities, and major thoroughfares. A great opportunity for buyers looking for a multifamily property with existing income and additional upside. Do not disturb tenants. Easy to show.
