Property Description

**VACANT CHICAGO GREYSTONE | POTENTIAL THREE-UNIT CONVERSION | VALUE-ADD OPPORTUNITY NEAR MAJOR WEST SIDE REDEVELOPMENT | ESTIMATED RENOVATED 3-UNIT ARV $590K-$699K.** Delivered completely vacant, this 1903 limestone-front Classical Revival greystone in East Garfield Park, on a 25x125 RM-5 lot, is a true value-add canvas: two existing units (each 2 bed/1 bath; 9 rooms, 4 beds total), a full unfinished basement, original stone facade, and 2 exterior parking spaces. **The property requires a complete gut renovation, including extensive interior demolition and rehabilitation, and is best suited for experienced investors and contractors prepared to undertake a major restoration project.** The building is being sold as-is, and the property cleanout has been completed. Interior photos are available for buyers to review the property's current condition. **THE THIRD-UNIT PLAY:** Chicago's Additional Dwelling Unit ordinance, citywide since April 1, 2026, allows one conversion unit in eligible 1-4 unit buildings at least 20 years old in RM districts, with no added parking required and an exemption from minimum lot area per unit. Owner-occupancy and block-face limits may apply in the City's West ADU zone, and Department of Housing pre-certification, permits, and building-code compliance (including basement ceiling height and egress) are required. A third unit is not currently permitted or guaranteed; buyers should verify eligibility with the City and their architect. **WHY THE UPSIDE MATTERS:** Within one mile in the last six months, fully renovated vintage 3-flats closed at $589,000-$635,000 (3169 W Monroe, $635K), a fully remodeled 3-flat closed at $699,000, and renovated 2-flats with finished lower-level duplexes closed at $590,000-$610,000. Based on those closed sales, we estimate a fully renovated legal 3-unit after-repair value of approximately $590,000-$699,000, or roughly $500,000-$610,000 as a renovated 2-flat with a finished lower level. These are estimates only, not an appraisal or guarantee, and depend on renovation scope, condition, permits, and City approvals. **LOCATION:** East Garfield Park, steps from the Kedzie-Homan Blue Line and the I-290 Eisenhower, about 1.3 miles to the Illinois Medical District, and roughly 1.9 miles from the United Center on the Near West Side, where the $7 billion, 55-acre 1901 Project broke ground in June 2026 and received a full building permit for its 6,000-capacity Music Hall in November 2026 (Phase 1 targeted for 2028). Close to Garfield Park and the Conservatory, with fast access to downtown. **STRATEGIES:** Full renovation and resale, a long-term hold with potential three-unit income, or owner-occupancy with rental income, subject to financing and legal-use requirements. Cash or renovation financing recommended. Vacant and easy to show: schedule a private showing through ShowingTime. The property has been fully cleaned out, and interior photos are now available to showcase its existing condition and renovation potential.

Explore Fifth City

A petite, sub-neighborhood nestled within the larger borders of East Garfield Park, Fifth City's residential streets are located just minutes away from Chicago's bustling downtown. Fifth City offers folks affordable homes in classic brick flats, near to major transportation systems and one of the town's largest parks. More spacious and spread out than other Chicago neighborhoods, Fifth City has quite a bit of undeveloped land and open lots. A trim group of restaurants and businesses hug the community's eastern border, but residents can easily head across the street for additional dining and shopping.
