Attention rehabbers, investors, and handymen. This is the perfect subject home to do your next rehab project or fix it and move in. The inside needs a lot of work and is being sold in "AS IS" Condition, but many key components of this home make it great to work with. It's a stylish all brick English Tudor with a new roof, new windows, and new garage and concrete floor just a few years ago. It features 4 bedrooms with 2 on the main floor and 2 upstairs, all with hardwood floors. There is a separate dining room, and the kitchen is eat-in. It has a full basement that was partially finished at one time with plenty of laundry and utility space to design. It is situated on a beautiful block offering great curb appeal and is walking distance to shops, transportation, schools, and the Metra train. This house will make a great home once all of the rehab or repair work has been completed. The house is being sold in "AS IS" Condition and is Not FHA compliant. Please note that the real estate taxes do not include any exemptions.

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.
