Property Description
Come tour this solid brick 2-unit multi-family property in the beautiful South Shore neighborhood of Chicago, just one block from Jackson Park Hospital.

The first-floor unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a formal dining room, formal living room, and an eat-in kitchen, updated about 10 years ago and still in great condition. The second-floor unit is a recently renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bath with a brand-new kitchen featuring white quartz countertops and plenty of natural light. A full unfinished basement provides endless possibilities for additional living space, storage, or even a future garden unit (per city approval). Recent improvements include a newly recoated main roof and a garage roof replaced about 10 years ago. Conveniently located just a few blocks from public transportation, restaurants, and shops, with downtown Chicago only a 15-minute drive and the lakefront just 5 minutes away with walking paths and bike lanes, this property offers both comfort and investment potential in one of Chicago's most vibrant neighborhoods.
