Multifamiliare A Chicago

Rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained brick two-flat in highly desirable East Irving Park, just steps from Horner Park. With one apartment currently vacant, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for an owner-occupant, house hacker, or investor looking for a substantially updated building with many of the major capital improvements already completed. Extensive improvements completed in 2022-2023 include a new roof layer, individual Navien tankless water heaters, new furnaces and A/C condensers, new electrical panels, stainless steel appliances in both apartments, and individual in-unit washers and dryers-providing a future owner with the residual value of significant recent investment and the potential for years of lower-maintenance ownership. Both spacious, west-facing apartments feature 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom including formal dining rooms, along with updated kitchens showcasing both white and espresso cabinetry, quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Additional improvements include updated bathrooms and lighting fixtures. Each residence also offers an additional east-facing rear den-an ideal home office, reading room or flex space that enjoys abundant morning sunlight. The lower level provides even more versatility with an existing in-law suite complete with its own bathroom, creating valuable additional space for extended family, guests, a home office, recreation or other permitted uses. Unit 1 also offers the possibility of of creating a duplex-down to add additional living space. Another feature that truly distinguishes this property is its extra-wide 32-foot lot, offering additional parking, greater outdoor space and flexibility than a typical Chicago two-flat. The wider lot may also provide intriguing possibilities for future expansion or potential conversion/legalization of lower-level space as an ADU, subject to City of Chicago zoning, building-code requirements, permits and approvals. And then there’s the location. Approximately a 4-minute walk from the front door is Horner Park, one of the North Side’s premier recreational destinations, encompassing more than 55 acres along the Chicago River. Enjoy paved walking and running paths, tennis and pickleball courts, softball fields, soccer and football fields, a fenced dog park, playgrounds and a fieldhouse offering additional recreational activities. The building is also strategically located just 15 mins walk from the Francisco Brown line stop making it an ideal choice for downtown commuters, and also within close proximity to the heart of Lincoln Square. Whether you’re searching for a home with rental income, a multi-generational living arrangement, or a long-term investment in one of Chicago’s established North Side neighborhoods, this East Irving Park two-flat combines space, location, extensive recent improvements and future potential in one compelling package.
