Description

Ideally located in the heart of the Wrigleyville entertainment district, this investment property offers abundant natural light and an oversized interior layout with three bedrooms per floor, separate living and dining rooms, and an unfinished basement featuring tall ceilings and generous window space-perfect for future expansion. Both units are in older, semi-original condition but are structurally sound. Each unit has separate forced air heating, with easy potential for central air installation....Ideally located in the heart of the Wrigleyville entertainment district, this investment property offers abundant natural light and an oversized interior layout with three bedrooms per floor, separate living and dining rooms, and an unfinished basement featuring tall ceilings and generous window space-perfect for future expansion. Both units are in older, semi-original condition but are structurally sound. Each unit has separate forced air heating, with easy potential for central air installation. The property sits on an extra-wide, 30-foot lot, allowing for three parking spaces that the current owner utilizes for additional income during events and Cubs games. The exterior has been well-maintained, with recent tuckpointing, rebuilt front steps, and a rebuilt chimney. This rare, fully detached Greystone provides excellent natural light and offers higher potential land use, with zoning designated as RT 3.5. The prime location supports various high-income opportunities, including short-term rentals like Airbnb. With immediate access to the Wrigleyville entertainment corridor, this building is directly across from The Metro and just steps from Wrigley Field, The Cubby Bear, Lucky Strike Social, X-Golf, Swift and Sons Tavern, Uncommon Ground, UFC Gym Wrigleyville, and a multitude of bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues. It's also a mere four blocks from the vibrant Southport Corridor. This property offers an unbeatable high-energy location with immense potential for any investor!
