Discover an outstanding investment or owner-occupant opportunity with this beautifully updated brick two-flat nestled on a quiet, tree-lined dead-end street in the heart of Humboldt Park. Perfectly positioned just steps from the Garfield Park Conservatory, this well-maintained property combines strong rental potential with an unbeatable location. Each spacious unit offers generous living space, featuring one 4-bedroom apartment and one 3-bedroom apartment, making the property highly desirable for tenants or multi-generational living. Major capital improvements have already been completed, including updated mechanical systems, roof, landscaping, and fenced outdoor areas, allowing for a low-maintenance ownership experience. With both tenants currently on month-to-month leases, the next owner has exceptional flexibility to establish market rents, occupy one unit while generating income from the other, or add this turnkey property to an investment portfolio.
