Douglas Park is hot! This is a well-maintained, all brick, legal 3-unit building in a fantastic location! It is within walking distance to Mount Sinai, Douglas Park, Lagunitas Brewery and Cinespace. It is a gem! This property has two strategies. First, you can live in one unit and rent out the other two units. Second, you can just keep the building as an investment property! This building features one duplex down unit and two simplex units. The first floor unit is an incredible duplex down unit featuring two bedrooms and two full bathrooms; the lower level bathroom has a jacuzzi tub along with a separate shower. Besides its space, the hallmark of the lower level is the exposed brick wall; this well-coveted feature is a constant reminder of Chicago's rich history and culture. The second floor unit and the third floor unit each consist of two bedrooms and a bathroom. All of these units feature large windows for that bright, western facing, natural sun exposure, which lights up each living room area; and all units are also accentuated with 9 foot ceilings, real hardwood floors, a pretty light gray wall color, spacious bedrooms and ample closet space, and a functional floor plan. The kitchens are equally impressive with their warm cherry toned, 42" shaker style kitchen cabinets, their perfectly selected granite countertops, their pristine stainless steel appliances and a large kitchen island with seating. You will love each unit! The first floor unit features a private washer and dryer. The second and third floor units share a common area washer and dryer units. This building is also minutes away from downtown Chicago, schools, restaurants and transportation. It is a must see. It is a true armchair investment. A 10!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
