Chicago, IL 60657

Rarely available East Lakeview brick two unit building with desirable RM4.5 zoning on leafy Aldine Avenue. So many possibilities for a potential live-in owner as the building offers a 3 bed/2 bath duplex down and also a very spacious updated 2 bed/1 bath unit on the top floor that is flooded with natural light with it's south facing exposure. Each unit features central heat and air and this building also benefits from an extra wide floorplan as parts of the structure are built to the lot line and it is over 23 ft wide in one area internally. If you need room to expand, the zoning permits a 45 ft tall building so several options to chose from such as create a duplex up and add a rooftop deck which would offer some splendid views. Both units have some amazing vintage details and character including original built-ins, 9-10 ft ceilings, art deco style fireplace on main floor, hardwood flooring and distinctive oak entry doors with ornate transoms. Both Kitchens feature stainless steel appliances, breakfast rooms and french doors that lead out onto two separate rear decks. The building has been meticulously maintained and the masonry is in excellent shape as it was tuckpointed in recent years. The flat roof, parapet walls and rear decks are also in very good condition and no visible signs of any deferred maintenance. Aldine Avenue is one of East Lakeview's premier addresses and the property sits just 2.5 blocks from the Lake. This is a very unique property as it offers a savvy buyer multiple options for expansion, or just move right in and enjoy the charm of it's originality.
