Welcome home to your legal 2-flat investment property steps to 63rd St. , 4 blocks to Whole Foods (and other retailers) and equidistant to the Halsted & Ashland Green Line CTA trains. The building has a new boiler (2019) that services both of the units and has had some plumbing repaired/replaced in 2019. There is a new porch (2019) that was just installed. Both apartments were partially painted/plastered in 2019 though we recommend some cosmetic upgrading for the new owner. Each unit has 100 amp electric service (circuit breakers). The 2nd floor is a duplex up unit with 2 bedrooms on the top floor and one on the main level. It is currently rented for $850/mo. (a month-to-month lease) and the 1st floor is being rented for $800/mo. (a month-to-month lease). Kindly note that this is an estate sale for a property that has been vacant for almost a year so no gas or electric records are available. The property is being sold As-Is.

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.
