Won't Last Long, Massive, impeccably maintained two-unit building in the heart of Lincoln Square, featuring a rare duplex-up and duplex-down configuration. Nestled on a quiet, one-way, tree-lined street, this turnkey property is perfect for an investor or an owner-occupant looking for a premier live-in income opportunity, or convert to a single family home. Unit 1 (Duplex-Down) offers a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout spread across two levels (2 beds up, 1 down). The heart of the home is a fully equipped chef's kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a functional kitchen island, and a convenient mudroom off the back. Both bathrooms have been beautifully rehabbed with modern finishes. Unit 2 (Duplex-Up) features a sprawling 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom floor plan. The renovated kitchen mirrors the luxury finish of Unit 1, complete with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an open breakfast island that flows seamlessly into a separate, dedicated dining room area. Both units enjoy the ultimate convenience of in-unit washers and dryers, plus entirely separate gas and electrical utilities for easy management. The exterior matches the excellence of the interior, showcasing pristine front landscaping and a backyard oasis featuring custom pavers and a massive grilling area. The property is complete with a detached 2-car garage featuring siding meticulously matched to the main building. Located in a highly walkable, central Lincoln Square location, you are just steps away from the expansive green spaces of Winnemac Park, top-rated schools, and all the vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment lining Lincoln Avenue.
