Calling all Investors or rehabbers. Full gut or teardown opportunity in the heart of historic Riverside, a nationally recognized landmark and one of the country's first planned suburban developments designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, just 9 miles from downtown Chicago. Set on an oversized 50x200 lot, this property offers exceptional potential for a complete gut renovation or new construction. The existing home is being sold as-is; buyers are encouraged to focus on the land, location, and long-term value. Riverside is known for its winding, tree-lined streets, iconic oil lamp lighting, scenic parkways, and architecturally significant homes, including works by Frank Lloyd Wright. This serene, picturesque community sits along the Des Plaines River and offers parks, trails, and a charming downtown village square featuring historic landmarks such as the Riverside Public Library, Water Tower, Village Hall, and Metra station. Close to major expressways, Riverside combines convenience with character. With a mix of grand, renowned residences and charming cottages and bungalows, residents take pride in preservation, landscaping, and community character. Often called the "Village in the Forest," Riverside provides a rare opportunity to build new in one of the most architecturally significant communities in the Chicago area. Interior measurements are estimated and not guaranteed.
