In the heart of Platt Park, this rare FULL duplex on a double lot offers a turnkey investment with proven rental income—or the perfect setup for house hackers looking to offset their mortgage. This property includes two fully separate units—1518 (North Unit) and 1520 (South Unit)—each with private entrances, kitchens, laundry, patios and yard access, ideal for both short- and long-term rental strategies. 1518 S Sherman is a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home recently updated with tasteful finishes and configured for maximum livability. The front bedroom, perfect as an office or guest room, is filled with natural light. Two more bedrooms line the hallway beside a large bath, offering excellent rental or roommate potential. The spacious primary suite at the back features a four-piece ensuite bath for privacy and comfort. The open layout includes a bright living and dining area, plus a well-equipped kitchen with a brand-new oven and a cozy breakfast nook. This unit previously rented under market value for $3,200/month and has strong upside for furnished mid- or short-term stays. 1520 S Sherman, the 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit, is a proven short-term rental performer. Vaulted ceilings create an inviting atmosphere, while the open kitchen, in-unit laundry, and upstairs primary suite offer an ideal setup for guests or tenants. It has historically averaged $2,700/month in Airbnb revenue.
Sitting on a large 6,250 sq ft lot, this property offers valuable outdoor space. Each unit enjoys its own yard—front for 1518, back for 1520—with the option to reconfigure based on Buyer’s needs. A rare three-car garage adds secure parking or more rental appeal. Whether you're looking to house hack, invest in long-term equity, or enjoy the flexibility of multi-generational living, this full duplex offers a unique opportunity to generate income just blocks from South Pearl Street, the Platt Park Farmers Market, two light rail stops, and the soon-to-be-constructed National Women’s Soccer League Stadium!
