Nestled on a prime 4+ acre property in West Chicago, this 1940s mid-century modern ranch home presents a fantastic opportunity with a ton of potential, enhanced by significant recent updates. The home itself has undergone considerable work, including a new HVAC system, updated plumbing, modernized bathrooms, updated siding, gutters, roof, and a finished basement. The setting offers a unique blend of residential charm and expansive development upside. The property features over 4 acres of land with R1 zoning and a confirmed opportunity to subdivide into a flag lot. Its strategic location is directly adjacent to manufacturing businesses, making it a strong candidate for commercial rezoning, and the seller has initiated preliminary discussions with the county regarding this potential. A Special Use Permit for a kennel operation remains with the land, offering an immediate business opportunity. In addition to the ranch home, the property includes a substantial 7,000 sq. ft. cinder block outbuilding, previously utilized as a dog kennel. The interior has been cleared of old cages and partially cleaned, providing a blank canvas for conversion (subject to permitting). Please Note: The property is being sold in as-is condition. Prospective buyers must conduct all necessary due diligence regarding: Feasibility of annexation into the city; requirements and feasibility for a zoning map amendment (rezoning) to commercial; and all development guidelines, soil testing, and building requirements as stipulated by DuPage County. All information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer must verify all details.
