Currently a profitable long-term rental, with possibility to increase rents above 6k/mo. Live as the owner in the duplex up and generate rental income from the garden unit, or build your dream home by deconverting the 2-flat into a generous 3 story single family on one of Chicago's best blocks. Currently fully leased, this property can be delivered with tenants, if desired. This well-maintained Lakeview two-flat offers exceptional investment value with a proven track record of consistent rental income, featuring below-market rents with substantial room for growth. Located just 2 blocks from the Wellington Brown Line and minutes from Southport Corridor and Wrigleyville amenities, the property includes a spacious 3-bedroom duplex unit spanning two levels with open concept living, large windows, and two bathrooms; plus a great 2-bedroom ground-floor apartment with good natural light and in-unit laundry. The building showcases quality finishes throughout, including mahogany kitchen cabinets with burled oak inlays, glass tile backsplash, marble bathrooms with Jacuzzi tub, and desirable amenities like a two-car garage with extended pad for additional parking or potential outdoor deck expansion.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
