Rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained brick two-flat in highly desirable East Irving Park, just steps from Horner Park. With one apartment currently vacant, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for an owner-occupant, house hacker, or investor looking for a substantially updated building with many of the major capital improvements already completed. Extensive improvements completed in 2022-2023 include a new roof layer, individual Navien tankless water heaters, new furnaces and A/C condensers, new electrical panels, stainless steel appliances in both apartments, and individual in-unit washers and dryers-providing a future owner with the residual value of significant recent investment and the potential for years of lower-maintenance ownership.

Another feature that truly distinguishes this property is its extra-wide 32-foot lot, offering additional parking, greater outdoor space and flexibility than a typical Chicago two-flat.
