They don't make them like this anymore! Built in 1909 and extremely well maintained by the same owner for over 30 years, this classic brick 2-flat sits on an oversized 35' wide Chicago lot in the heart of vibrant Six Corners Portage Park, just steps from Old Irving Park. Each unit offers 3 bed/1 bath, a formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen with peninsula, and a sunny bay window, along with the vintage charm buyers love: high ceilings, natural oak trim, and solid wood doors. The 1st floor shines with gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The full finished basement offers front and rear entrances, 3 bedrooms, 2 storage rooms, a full bath, a laundry room, new flooring, and the potential to duplex down. The 2nd floor unit has its own separate entrance, in-unit laundry, new 2026 carpet, and an updated bath vanity. Central air throughout, including the finished basement, and recessed lighting throughout. Each unit has its own furnace, A/C, and water heater, with separately metered gas and electric. The entire property has been freshly painted and is exceptionally clean and move-in ready. Outside, enjoy a beautiful garden, a 2-car brick garage with 220V power ready for EV charger installation or a workshop, and exterior apron parking. A perfect house hack: live in one unit and rent the other, or add a solid investment to your portfolio. Minutes from Six Corners shopping and dining, the Portage Theater, Portage Park, the Mayfair Metra, the Montrose Blue Line, and the Jefferson Park Transit Center, with quick access to I-90/94 for O'Hare or downtown. A rare blend of character, location, and opportunity.
