About this home
Single Family · Built 1919 · Historic
This 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath, 1.5-story bungalow offers a great opportunity for investors or an owner-occupant in the up-and-coming, investor-friendly neighborhood of South Chicago, located within Chicago's historic Hyde Park Township. Being sold AS IS, the home features a partially finished basement, and a spacious backyard with excellent potential. The property and both full bathrooms need some TLC but once renovations are complete the property will really shine! The interior was fully rehabbed in 2020, conveniently located near the future Obama Presidential Center.
