About this home
Single Family · Built 1905 · Historic
Incredible opportunity in the heart of New City / Back of the Yards! This spacious 4-bedroom + 2 basement bedrooms, 2-bath single-family home offers flexibility, modern updates, and outstanding investment potential in one of Chicago's fastest-growing neighborhoods. Sunlight pours through the home, highlighting beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and modern finishes.

The fully equipped, non-conforming garden unit provides additional living space ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. Major mechanicals offer peace of mind: roof under 10 years old, A/C and 2-car garage both under 5 years old. Located in a neighborhood experiencing significant growth with new construction homes and expanding local businesses, this property presents a compelling opportunity for homeowners and investors alike. Whether you're looking for space, flexibility, or upside potential, this home delivers on all fronts.
