About This Home
Recently rehabbed brick two-flat on a corner lot in prime Forest Park. This spacious, jumbo two-flat blends classic architectural charm with thoughtful modern updates and is ideally situated on a quiet, tree-lined street. The first-floor unit, soon to be vacant, features three bedrooms, rich natural woodwork, hardwood floors, a sunlit bay-window living room, a formal dining room, and an updated kitchen with white shaker cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. The second-floor unit has a longer-term tenant in place and offers a fresh, modern palette, generous layout, and a fully renovated kitchen with gray cabinetry, sleek countertops, and stainless appliances. High ceilings, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and large windows create an open and airy feel throughout both units. Bathrooms have been updated with clean, stylish finishes. A full, unfinished basement with tall ceilings and steel beam support provides excellent storage or future finishing potential. Whether you're looking to live in one unit and rent the other or add a turnkey property to your portfolio, this home offers incredible flexibility and value. Roof, hot water heater, electrical, and all windows (2023).Located just minutes from I290, the Blue Line, Harlem Avenue, and North Riverside Mall, with convenient access to shops, schools, and parks-this is a rare opportunity in one of Forest Park's most desirable neighborhoods.
