Property Description

This classic Chicago greystone two-flat in the West Side checks every box for the value-add investor or owner-occupant: updated systems, below-market rents, and a neighborhood in the middle of a real transformation. With iconic bay window architecture, solid masonry construction, and a freshly updated profile from foundation to roof, this building is ready for its next chapter. Major improvements completed in 2026 mean the heavy lifting is already done. Two brand-new water heater tanks, a fully resurfaced roof, and structural reinforcements give the next owner the confidence to walk in and focus on upside rather than repairs. The foundation is solid, the systems are fresh, and the returns are within reach. The building offers strong income potential across three levels. Unit 2 features three bedrooms, one bath, and original hardwood floors. Unit 1 offers two bedrooms, one bath, and a flexible layout. The semi-finished basement includes a living room, bedroom, full bath, half-bath, and rough plumbing for a future kitchen, making it a natural candidate for a duplex-down conversion or in-law suite. Both units are currently tenant-occupied on month-to-month leases at below-market rents, meaning day-one income with immediate room to grow. Raise rents to market rate, activate the basement conversion, or house-hack and let your tenants cover your mortgage. The location only adds to the case. Minutes from the Illinois Medical District, Little Italy, Garfield Park Conservatory, and Cinespace Chicago Studios, this property sits in the path of serious capital. The $7 billion United Center 1901 Project is just five minutes away and accelerating demand across the entire west side corridor. Easy access to I-290 and the CTA Blue Line keeps tenants happy and vacancy low. Seller is a licensed real estate broker in the State of Illinois.

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.
