The 2 desirable units feature newer kitchens with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. Adjacent to the kitchen are 2 bright rooms which let in plenty of sunlight and have spacious closets. Both bathrooms have been updated. Currently, the basement unit is rented to a month-to-month tenant who pays $800 a month and takes care of lawn care and snow removal. Unit 1 is rented to long-term tenants for $1650 a month; their lease ends on 8/31 and will move out. Unit 2 has functioned as an Airbnb and is currently vacant. Additionally, there is a washer and dryer (replaced in 2021) as well as 2 boiler systems, 2 water heaters (1 replaced in 2021) in the basement. There are 3 electric and gas meters. In the back, there is a nicely sized backyard and a 2 car garage which is currently used by the basement tenant. Public transportation is readily available and the Jefferson Park Blue Line Train Station is down the street. Many restaurants/bars nearby. This building would be perfect for a live-in landlord: live in one unit and rent the others. Or, rent out all the units and collect the rents! The sellers cannot attest to the legality of the basement unit.
