The unfinished basement features rough plumbing for a bathroom and offers the possibility of additional living space or a potential garden unit, subject to zoning, permits, and city approval. Property requires extensive rehabilitation and is being sold AS-IS. Buyer to verify zoning, building requirements, and permitted uses. Bring your contractor and vision to unlock the possibilities!
Englewood, located between Washington Park and West Englewood, is a historic and residential Chicago neighborhood with a grid of classic brick two-flats and broad commercial corridors. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates along West 63rd Street near South Halsted Street, where storefront blocks, murals, and corner shops set a street-level rhythm. Hamilton Park’s fieldhouse and greenspace give the area a strong civic anchor. Kennedy-King College adds a campus presence and steady daytime motion along 63rd. The Englewood Square development frames a modern retail-and-services node beside the college. Side streets mix worker cottages, greystones, and tidy bungalows, creating a grounded, architectural patchwork.

RS-3
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 - RS3 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
Permitted uses
