Property Description
Opportunity knocks in downtown Libertyville! This property features two units, each with two bedrooms and one full bathroom, an unfinished basement, and a two-car detached garage. And while this is right in downtown Libertyville, recreation in nature is close by with Lake Minear Beach and the DesPlaines River Trail an easy walk or bike ride away. Butterfield Elementary and Highland Middle Schools (D68) and Libertyville High School (D128). It was a single-family home at one point, and was converted to a two-flat. There is potential to convert this back into a single-family home, as has been done many times over in this neighborhood over the last 25 years. Please note that this home will need updates for most buyers. It has been tenant-occupied for a long time. 1st floor is vacant, and the second floor still has a tenant. This will be an as-is sale. 24-hour notice required for showings. Shared driveway. There is only one HVAC system for both units.
