Property Description

Excellent investment opportunity in a great location in the fabulous Village of Western Springs, IL, which was recently ranked the safest city in America by GoBankingRates. The value is in the land here! The lot is 50x131.4 located less than half a block south of the Metra Train and two blocks from downtown Western Springs. The house is being sold "as-is" and does need some work. Please see the disclosures. It is a 2-bedroom, all brick ranch home with a full finished basement, 2-car detached garage and concrete driveway. Recent improvements include all-new copper plumbing, new electrical, and a new furnace. There is a sump with a back-up battery, and the central A/C is less than 10 years old. All windows have been replaced except for 3 of them. The home is currently tenant occupied.
