About this home
A true Chicago beauty with incredible curb appeal and potential is on the market for the first time in over 40 years. Lovingly maintained, this 3 unit building with incredible vintage details is not to be missed. Situated on one of Lake View's most coveted blocks, this building offers an amazing opportunity for renovation or to assume a robust investment property. The top floor of the building (seen in the listing photos) is an enormous 4 bedroom / 2 bath with central heating / air and in-unit laundry. Lovingly restored millwork throughout this space, high ceilings and an abundance of light make it an ideal owner's unit. The middle floor is a 2 bedroom / 1 bath that also has in-unit laundry. Finally, the first floor unit is a 3 bedroom / 1 bath that uses coin laundry in the basement. A 2 car garage situated in the back brings in additional income. Located in the Newport Avenue District, this R5 zoned building is on a one-way street lined with other historic greystones. Situated on one of Lake View's most coveted streets the building is in the heart of it all with easy access to public transit, the bars and restaurants of both Wrigleyville and North Halsted and the Lake. Please note, this property is being conveyed "as-is." Don't miss the opportunity to own this jaw dropping property.
