Property Description

***Asking price is only $249,900 - Estimated After-Repair-Value is $677,000*** Incredible opportunity to own a legal 2-flat with a bonus garden apartment in the rapidly developing East Garfield Park (Tri-Taylor) neighborhood-steps from the Western Blue Line, 15 minutes to UIC via I-290, and surrounded by new construction, including the $7B "1901 Project" near the United Center that's set to transform the area with thousands of new residences, parks, retail, and entertainment. The property features a new back porch (2021), roof replaced within the last 6 years, and will be delivered fully vacant at closing. Zoned RM-5 and located in the West ADU zone, it qualifies for conversion into a legal 3-unit under the City's ADU Ordinance-unlocking major value and rental income potential. Renovated 2-units in the area have recently sold for an average of $546,000, while a full 3-unit conversion pushes the estimated after-repair value to $677,000. Renovated 3-4 bedroom apartments in this neighborhood rent for $2,916-$2,974/month, creating a projected rental income of nearly $9,000/month when fully occupied. Whether you're an investor looking for cash flow or an owner-occupant hoping to "house hack" by living in one unit and letting the other two cover most-if not all-of your expenses, this is a smart buy with serious upside. Excellent candidate for an FHA 203k renovation loan-bring your vision and build equity from day one.

Explore East Garfield Park

Picturesque gardens and organic produce markets cross paths with vintage graystones and soul food restaurants in this long established - and now re-established - west side Chicago neighborhood. East Garfield Park is probably best known for the Garfield Park Conservatory which is one of the largest in the U.S. Like taking a step into another hemisphere, the conservatory is your ticket to a lush tropical climate with 30-foot palm trees and fragrant orchids, even in the dead of winter. The rest of the 185-acre park transports visitors to a fashionable Parisian-inspired commons with grand promenades, large ponds and landscaped grounds. On the restaurant front, East Garfield Park is a jackpot of American cuisine with a twist of southern cooking thrown in. Red hots, hamburgers and fries, fried fish and chicken, macaroni and cheese, submarines, peach cobblers and any other comfort food you can think of. For a taste of East Garfield Park's retail business just head over to Madison Street for the best shopping stops.
