First Time on the Market in over 90 years! CASH ONLY! The PROPERTY NEEDS UPDATING! Professor's Row/Loyola Park/E Rogers Park/Rogers Edge, whatever you want to call this fantastic area just 1/2 block north of Edgewater, 2 blocks west of Loyola Campus, in East Rogers Park. She may be a bit older but she has great bones! This is a chance to buy a brick 2 flat, with large 3 bedroom, 1 bath units, and make it your own! The units are quite large with a sunroom off the living room and another sun room off the formal dining room. Kitchen is large enough to create a very nice chef's kitchen. 1st level has unpainted, original woodwork. The first floor unit has interior stairs to the lower level, so perfect to make an owners duplex. The boiler works. There are fuse electric boxes, but everything works. It needs work. It is a diamond in the rough but can be made to sparkle! IMPORTANT!! The current owner will only sell with a LIFE ESTATE for the 2nd floor apartment, allowing her to pay rent as long as her sweet 87yo self can till the end of her life. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE! The building is being sold "AS IS" CASH ONLY because a bank will not allow a life estate! Fantastic location, walk to restaurants, movie theater, parks. Redline just a 2 minute walk away! CASH ONLY
