A GREAT OPPORTUNITY to own a rarely available two-flat in River Forest with two 3-bedroom units and flexibility for an owner-occupant or investor. Live in the refreshed, vacant second-floor unit while rental income from the first floor helps offset your monthly expenses, or continue using the property as a full investment. Both units have the same layout with similar finishes, including hardwood floors, updated baths and eat-in kitchens with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. A striking wall of windows in each living room adds architectural interest and abundant natural light. Across from the forest preserve, the property also offers a wooded backyard with a brick patio and easy potential to become a cozy outdoor oasis. Separate utilities, shared basement laundry and storage, a 2-car garage plus driveway parking, and convenient access to the Metra add to the appeal. A flexible River Forest two-flat with room to make it your own and income potential built right in.
