Two Units, One Smart Move - Space, Flexibility & Opportunity Await! This frame 2-unit building offering 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in each unit, designed for flexibility, functionality, and future potential. Whether you're dreaming of living in one unit while offsetting expenses with the other, or you're ready to roll up your sleeves and add value over time, this property is ready for its next chapter. Inside, both units feature comfortable layouts with well-proportioned rooms and plenty of natural light. The partially finished basement adds bonus space-perfect for storage, a rec area, workshop, or a laundry center. Bring your ideas and your tool belt; there's room to make it your own. Step outside and you'll find a huge rear yard that opens the door to endless possibilities-outdoor entertaining, gardening, play space, or future enhancements. No garage here, but the generous lot size gives you plenty of flexibility to imagine what comes next. Conveniently located near Washington Park, this home offers easy access to green space, walking paths, and recreation. Nearby development around the Obama Presidential Center continues to bring attention and investment to the area. You're also minutes from the University of Chicago, local dining and shopping corridors, and quick access to the Dan Ryan Expressway for an easy commute. Public transportation options nearby help keep city living convenient. Whether you're an owner-occupant ready to build equity with a little hands-on effort, or a buyer looking for a solid two-unit with long-term upside, the property delivers space, location, and opportunity-all in one package. Just bring your vision, your creativity, and maybe a little elbow grease-this one's ready to work for you.
