Great 2 unit property in the Riverview Historic District! Lovely tree lined streets make this extra homey, not to mention the close proximity to the Frank Llyod Wright home, Cobb Park, Kankakee River, and walking trails. Flooring replaced in 2015, but both units have original hardwood underneath. Adorable enclosed porch off of 1st floor unit. A detached 1 car garage, full basement, and walk up attic leaves lots of room for storage. Great home for investment, to live in and rent the other, or could even be turned back to single family. Roof and furnaces replaced in 2013. Seller may consider rent to own or VA assumption loan. Owner lives in one unit and rents other out. With LL rented at $750/mo, building could net over $12,000/ year.
2 homes in 1! This 2 unit is located in the Riverview Historic District and is in amazing condition. Located walking distance to both Frank Lloyd Wright homes, Park, Kankakee River, walking trails & more! Att. garage, full bas., encl porch & a patio. Great home for the price! Buy low and sell high, buy low now! Add'l room up could be BDR. Live in 1 unit & rent the other, immediate cash flow! Pre-qualed buyers please
