Live in one, rent the other! This well-maintained brick two-flat in the heart of Portage Park is perfect for an owner-occupant looking to build wealth while enjoying the benefits of homeownership. The second floor unit is vacant and move-in ready, offering a blank slate to make it your own from day one while the first floor unit provides immediate rental income. Each unit features spacious rooms, hardwood flooring, and a functional layout with separate living and dining areas, plus an enclosed back porch ideal for added storage, a home office, or extra living space. The finished basement adds even more flexibility, whether you envision an in-law suite, a rec room, or a future duplex-down to maximize rental income potential. Add a detached 2-car garage, a fenced yard, and an oversized Chicago lot to round out the package. All of this on a quiet residential block that still puts you close to everything...steps from Chopin Park, the Blue Line, Metra, and CTA buses, with the Six Corners shopping and dining district just around the corner. Quick access to I-90/94 makes commuting a breeze. Whether you're a first-time buyer ready to stop renting, or a seasoned investor adding to your portfolio, this Portage Park two-flat is a smart, long-term move in one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods.
