About This Home
As of June 2026Classic Chicago brick bungalow zoned for 2 units. Tons of flexibility and income potential, located in the vibrant Portage Park area close to shopping, dining, parks, and everyday conveniences. This well-maintained home features a large separate 1 bed, 1 bath in-law unit upstairs with its own private entrance, full living room, dining room, and kitchen, currently rented for $1,200 per month and ideal for extended family or added cash flow. Plenty of space to redesign into a 2bed unit as well! The main floor has been beautifully updated with an open-concept layout, showcasing a stunning kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and hardwood floors throughout. From the main unit, you have direct access to the basement, which is already framed for an additional kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom, with all rough plumbing in place-perfect for creating a third living space or extra value.Additional highlights include a newer roof (less than 5 years old), a beautiful wood deck off the back of the home for outdoor enjoyment, and a 2-car garage. A rare opportunity to own a versatile property in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods.
