About This Home
As of August 2025PRICED TO SELL! - DRASTIC PRICE REDUCTION by motivated seller. Best price in town, priced well below comparable homes in the area, this spacious 5-bedroom, 2-story property in Whiting offers incredible opportunity for both homeowners and savvy investors. Several improvements have already been completed, including a new roof (2020), a new basement furnace and central air system (2020), a second-floor furnace, updated electrical, modern PEX plumbing, fresh flooring throughout, and a brand-new front porch completed in 2024. These upgrades lay a strong foundation for the next owner to build upon. The home's layout provides even more potential, with rough plumbing already in place upstairs for a kitchenette -- ideal for creating related living spaces, a guest suite, or enhancing rental income opportunities. While many important updates are complete, the home is ready for someone to add final improvements and personal touches. Once completed, there is significant potential for immediate equity growth, making this a standout option for investors looking to rent, flip, or expand their portfolio. Located just minutes from the Indiana-Illinois state line, this property is perfect for Chicago commuters and is close to downtown Whiting, the beach, parks, and Whiting schools. Plus, new owners can benefit from a property tax reduction after filing for the homestead exemption. Unlock the potential -- with space, location, and value, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss!
