What was blight can become beautiful again. My wife and I purchased this duplex in North Corktown at tax auction a few years ago. Back then it was abandoned, fire-damaged, and used as a base for scrappers. We paid the scrappers to leave, secured the building, and renovated it from the studs out. Today it's practically a new building with number of its historic features remaining intact after we invested a lot of time, money, and hard work into it. The new parts in this renovation feature: New electric wiring with multiple outlets in each room. High-efficiency furnace, programmable thermostat, new duct work. AC, central air. New plumbing and high-efficiency water heater. Security cameras and lighting. Stainless steel, Energy Star appliances in a new kitchen. Energy Star washer and dryer in basement, both front loading. New energy-efficient windows. Spray-foam insulation. Large mural on side of building. Fenced-in yard. Raised garden bed and fruit trees. Off-street parking. The historic parts of this renovation include: Large oak pocket door restored and hanging in living room. Restored oak front door. Refinished oak floors. Reglazed cast-iron tub in new bathroom. Walk-in closets. Tenants cover utilities. Landlord pays for water and landscaping. Pet friendly. One month security deposit required to reserve unit. First month's rent, and a $250 non-refundable cleaning fee required at lease signing.
