Property Description

Move right into this beautifully updated East Woodlawn two-unit offering the perfect blend of immediate income potential and comfortable owner-occupancy. The spacious first-floor duplex features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, two separate living areas, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher, private laundry with storage, and a private entrance-ideal for related living, guests, or a short-term rental opportunity. Two of the bedrooms easily accommodate king-size beds with nightstands. The second-floor simplex offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, an L-shaped kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a spacious primary bedroom that comfortably fits a king-size bed. A rare find in Chicago multifamily homes, each unit has separate utilities, generous closets, and individual laundry. Step outside to enjoy a spacious rear deck, backyard, and a 2-car brick garage. Live in one unit and rent the other, or add a turnkey investment to your portfolio. Ideally located just minutes from the University of Chicago, the Obama Presidential Center, Jackson Park, Lake Michigan, public transportation, neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, and the vibrant Hyde Park corridor. Surrounded by historic architecture, tree-lined streets, and ongoing redevelopment, this property is perfectly positioned for long-term appreciation in one of Chicago's most sought-after investment neighborhoods. Whether you're an investor seeking strong cash flow or an owner-occupant looking to offset your mortgage with rental income, this is an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Woodlawn.
