Property Description
Turnkey SFH in Downtown Naperville. Seize this rare opportunity for historic charm, modern convenience and expansion potential, all located 2 blocks from the Metra station and a quarter mile from Downtown Naperville. This lovely, quiet single family home could be your next residence or golden investment property. Use it as-is (move-in ready and gorgeous!), redevelop the land or expand. The property has an excellent, long rental history ($3500/month lease ends 4/30/26). 2024 Taxes: $6421 THE HOME: Recently rehabbed 1890 farmhouse with a sun-drenched, open floorplan and roughly 1800 sq ft of living space. Currently a 2BR, but could easily become a 3BR by converting the existing living room. The home features hardwood floors, central heat and a/c, a huge, open chef's kitchen with lofted ceiling, Kohler bathroom with custom vanity and soaker tub, 2nd floor w/d, newer doors, paint, trimwork and lighting. Updated electric and copper plumbing throughout. The oversized, treed yard boasts a 6' cedar privacy fence, cement walks, custom patio, planting beds and a 24' x 24' 2.5 car garage. The basement has natural light from 4 windows, a walk-out exit, a non-conforming 3rd bedroom/office and flexible storage/lounge/work room with a 2nd kitchen. 2024: New interior paint, w/d, dishwasher, cement front entry, insulation and garage doors. District 203: Ellsworth, Washington and Naperville North THE LOT: Oversized 83'x108', zoned R-2 (allows for 2 units). The City of Naperville owns and maintains the land adjacent to the property (26'x102' to the East), but is eager to unload it, providing a future owner the select opportunity for expansion*. Perhaps build an additional 4 car garage into the hill, as was done at 637 E 4th Ave, a coach house or use the space as part of a complete redevelopment. *Buyer to verify information and negotiate permits and land purchase from the City. Conveniently located 5 minutes to I-88, 3 minutes to Jewel and Costco, 2 blocks to the Downtown Naperville Metra Station and DuPage Children's Museum and just a few blocks from all 3 D203 schools, North Central College, Downtown Naperville and its shopping, restaurants, nightlife and Riverwalk. There are two parks located within 1 block, and third 2 blocks away. Agent owned.
