708 N Rockwell Street, Chicago IL 60612
Property Description
Welcome to a legal two-flat in West Town, Chicago, just steps from Smith Park. Live in the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex up and let the 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit downstairs help with your costs, or hold both as an investment property. The duplex up lives like a single-family home, with soaring cathedral ceilings, six UV-treated skylights filling the space with natural light, and hardwood floors throughout. Gather by the fireplace, cook in the renovated kitchen with new cabinets, a new backsplash, new appliances and a beverage center, and take dinner outside to the private deck. A staircase leads to the upper level, with a full bathroom on each floor, plus shelving and pantry storage. A laundry room off the duplex up, with a washer and dryer, is shared by both units. The building has two separate forced air heating systems, central air and many updates completed in 2025/26, including new plumbing, a remodeled first floor bathroom, a renovated kitchen and fresh paint throughout. A full list of updates is available. Step outside to Smith Park, with its pool, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, ball fields and fieldhouse. Ukrainian Village cafes and restaurants on Chicago Avenue are minutes away, and the Western Avenue Metra station is about a 10-minute walk, with a quick ride to Union Station. Wicker Park is about 7 minutes and downtown Chicago is under 20 minutes by car. No garage, but street parking is easy. A rare chance to own a move-in ready West Town two-flat on Smith Park, and a great Airbnb opportunity. 1st floor unit photos available upon request.
