Opportunity awaits in the heart of Edgewater! Owned and occupied by the same family for nearly 50 years, this legal 2-flat offers incredible potential for investors, rehabbers, and buyers looking to create their dream home.

Notable updates include a water heater replaced in 2018 and windows replaced within approximately the past 10 years.

All improvements and conversions are subject to applicable zoning requirements and city approval. Ideally located near the CTA Red Line, public transportation, Loyola University Chicago, lakefront beaches, neighborhood parks, and an abundance of restaurants, cafes, and shopping, with convenient access to Lake Shore Drive and major expressways. A rare opportunity to bring new life to a longtime family-owned property in one of Chicago's most desirable lakefront neighborhoods. Sold as-is. Bring your vision and make this property your own!
