About This Home

As of December 2024

This unique single-family home offers the perfect blend of comfort and opportunity. The move-in ready main floor features 2 bedroom apartment, making it ideal for first-time buyers, while the income-generating second-floor apartment helps mortgage costs. Located in the desirable Portage Park neighborhood, just minutes from the park itself and across from Gray Elementary Magnet School, this property is great for extended families or investors alike. The main level includes a cozy living room, enclosed front porch, formal dining room, and a well-equipped kitchen with both a pantry and an enclosed back porch for extra storage. Two spacious bedrooms complete the first floor. The second-floor apartment, with its own private front and back entrances has large living room, 2 bedrooms, a bath, and a kitchen with pantry. Currently occupied by a long-term tenant, it offers excellent potential for updates and increased rental income. Additional features include a two-car garage, great yard, nearly all new windows, two-year-old siding, new front and back stairs, and a central HVAC system serving both floors. As-Is
