Full unfinished basement gives you tons of potential to add value & living space. Central heat & AC. 2 car garage with party door leading to the back yard patio makes it great for barbecues & entertaining. Great for a primary residence or addition to your investment portfolio. Don't let this gem get away.
Hegewisch, located between Lake Calumet and the Indiana state line, is a lakeside and industrial Chicago neighborhood with a marshy lakeshore and rail-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Baltimore Ave and 134th St corridor, where corner taverns, local eateries, and small storefronts sit under the rumble of freight lines. Calumet Fisheries, a smokehouse on the river, anchors local food tradition. Wolf Lake Pavilion and the William W. Powers State Recreation Area set the outdoor rhythm with trails, fishing, and wide water views. Brick bungalows and modest cottages mix with working waterfront edges and big-sky open space. The pace feels grounded, shaped by wetlands, shipping channels, and long straight avenues.

RS-2
Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District
The primary purpose of the RS districts is to accommodate the development of detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RS zoning be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Ordinance includes three RS districts - RS2 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
