Property Description

Opportunity awaits in the heart of South Shore! This unique property began life as a single-family home and was converted into a two-flat many years ago, offering flexibility for investors, renovators, or owner-occupants with vision.

The first-floor unit features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, while the second-floor unit offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, for a total of 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Whether you're looking to restore the home to its original single-family layout or maintain it as a two-unit income-producing property, the possibilities are plentiful. Ideally located, convenient access to public transportation and downtown Chicago. Nearby attractions include Museum of Science and Industry, Jackson Park, and the scenic shores of Lake Michigan. Bring your ideas, your contractor, and your vision to unlock the full potential of this versatile property!
