Available for the first time in over 50 years, we are excited to present a large legal brick 2-flat in the heart of Lakeview. This property is just half a block from the vibrant Halsted Corridor and within walking distance to Wrigley Field, theaters, parks, shopping, and restaurants. Each of the apartments has 2 bedrooms and 3 bedrooms specifically on the 1st and 2nd floor. They both feature 1 full bath, separate dining room, living room, sunroom, enclosed porch, and a spacious kitchen. Both units boast high ceilings and large windows throughout. The basement is clean and unfinished, with approximately 7-foot 6-inch ceilings, front and back entrances as well above grade windows. A two-car brick garage offers the potential for a rooftop garden or deck. This home is in the sought-after Oakdale Historic District, making it an excellent opportunity for investors or owner-occupants to own a character-filled property in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods. The structure cannot be torn down, but with R4 zoning, you can easily add value to this investment by expanding unit 1 into the basement and adding a partial level to unit 2 or convert it into a spacious 4 story single-family home by adding a partial 3rd floor
