Property Description
An extraordinary opportunity to revive a piece of Chicago's storied past. Nestled on two distinct Chicago lots, each with its own PIN, this historic 5-bedroom, 2-bath residence is thought to be among the oldest in the subdivision. The property also features a charming detached 2-car garage and presents boundless potential for renovation, expansion, or even redevelopment. Awaiting a complete transformation, this home is being sold strictly as-is. Utilities are accessible in the basement, and the electrical service and furnace were updated in 2016. Whether you are a discerning investor, a visionary developer, or a homeowner with a passion for history, this property is a canvas awaiting your dream. Bring your vision and craft a truly timeless masterpiece. Please be advised, the home is in a distressed state and has notable interior odors. We ask that all visitors take care during their visit.
