Located in the highly sought after back of the yards community this jumbo two-unit building offers a pivot opportunity to a savvy buyer! Renovate the building, add value and live in one unit while renting the other out or use this as a straight investment property by renting both units while adding value, either way this is a win win situation! The building offers great size in both units with formal living room that features eastern exposure where tons of natural light shines in and flows effortlessly to a formal dining room! There are two bedrooms on the first-floor unit with three bedrooms on the second-floor unit. The basement is unfinished and can be duplexed into the main level unit while adding tons of equity upside! Having a deep lot with a two car garage is an added plus as well as being so close to the red line and Dan Ryan! Do not overlook the upside on this building in a market where you will rarely find value add multi units!
