About this home

Welcome to this well maintained two-flat residence in Back of the Yards, located right along the Garfield corridor. Each unit includes 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with potential for an owners studio or garden unit in the basement. This home offers unique options with the owner's suite in the basement that was originally part of the first floor duplex. Keep it that way, or easily reopen the doorway to recreate the original floorplan, adding versatility and value to the property. With its prime location and desirable features, this turnkey investment is ideal for investors or owner-occupants seeking to leverage rental income to offset mortgage expenses. Don't miss the chance to explore the endless possibilities of this versatile property-whether you aim to rent both units for consistent cash flow or reside in one while renting out the other, this home promises exceptional opportunities for savvy buyers and investors alike. Great location across the street from Sherman Park and library.

RT-4

Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District

The primary purpose of the RT districts is to accommodate detached houses, two-flats, townhouses and low-density, multi-unit residential buildings at a density and building scale that is compatible with RS districts. The districts are intended to be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types. The districts are also intended to provide a gradual transition between RS districts and higher density RM districts. The RT districts are differentiated primarily on the basis of allowed density (minimum lot area per unit) and floor area ratios.
