Description

To build or not to build? Do both! If you're a builder you can demand GOOD rent here 'til you build. In summary, this home is worth waaaaay MORE than just the land. This is not your typical split-level. This home has a sub-Basement WITH a rear walk-out EXTERIOR access door (below grade access with walk up stairs to level, mature tree lined backyard). That's almost unheard of! With the sub-Basement, you can convert the lower level to create complete SEPARATE living quarters with a PRIVATE rear access....To build or not to build? Do both! If you're a builder you can demand GOOD rent here 'til you build. In summary, this home is worth waaaaay MORE than just the land. This is not your typical split-level. This home has a sub-Basement WITH a rear walk-out EXTERIOR access door (below grade access with walk up stairs to level, mature tree lined backyard). That's almost unheard of! With the sub-Basement, you can convert the lower level to create complete SEPARATE living quarters with a PRIVATE rear access. The sub-basement (just a half flight of stairs from the Lower-Level Family Room) is big enough to add a small Kitchen, Full Bath and Bedroom! The Family Room is huge enough to add another Bedroom if needed. Bam! You have a 2-unit rental! This is prime opportunity to leverage your dollar and outperform today's dreadful stock market. Sah-weet! Kitchen was updated previously with solid wood cherry cabinets, quiet close feature, etc. etc. Home attends highly acclaimed SD 203 Highlands Elementary School (walking distance), Kennedy JHS and Naperville Central HS (walking distance). Just a 5-minute walk to access the Riverwalk at Hillside and Washington. Walk 5 minutes to vibrant downtown Naperville to enjoy all the dining, entertainment and shopping it has to offer. Wow! If I wasn't the list agent I'd buy this home myself! WARNING: savvy buyers WILL act fast on this home because they KNOW it's unique value opportunity so DON'T sit on this one. Call for more insight on your wealth building opportunities owning this home.
