Property Description

Rare 4-Unit in the Heart of Pilsen! Exceptional investment opportunity on an approximately 25' x 125' corner lot (per survey) with RT-4 zoning (buyer to verify). Rare opportunity to acquire a legal 3-unit PLUS a separate coach house in one of Chicago's most sought-after investment neighborhoods. Coach house with front door direct access to Wood Street, allowing it to function much like a standalone single-family home. The front building offers a spacious first-floor duplex-down with soaring ceilings and finished lower level, a rear first-floor 2-bedroom with excellent duplex potential, and a bright, sun-filled second-floor 2-bedroom. The coach house features its own private entrance, lofted ceilings, a 2-bedroom/1-bath layout, and a full unfinished basement offering exceptional storage and future expansion potential. Substantially renovated in 2003, the property features separate electric service and HVAC for all four units. Additional improvements include a front building roof replacement (approximately six years ago) and a new furnace and central air system in the coach house (2025). Offered AS-IS, the property is ready for thoughtful updating and presents an outstanding value-add opportunity. Lovely long-term tenants provide stable in-place income while offering significant upside through future renovations, lease optimization, and rent growth.
