2245 W Melrose Street, Chicago, IL 60618

This legal two-flat property includes a duplex-down owner’s residence and a bright, well-maintained second-floor unit that is currently leased. The owner’s unit offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms with an open-concept kitchen and family room, a separate formal dining room, and multiple living and entertaining areas anchored by a cozy fireplace. The spacious kitchen features abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, and a walk-in pantry, along with a layout that supports casual dining or additional flexible use such as a playroom or den. Additional highlights include generous bedroom sizes with ample closet space, multiple storage areas, and a full-size in-unit washer and dryer. The second-floor unit has two bedrooms and one bathroom, plus a bonus room, with an updated kitchen including quartz countertops and an island, an updated bath, and full-size in-unit washer and dryer.

In addition to the two-flat configuration, the property includes a finished third-floor non-conforming in-law/flex space with three rooms and separate front and rear access. This space includes a refrigerator only (no other kitchen appliances). The home also offers a rear deck, a large private backyard, and a two-car detached garage.

From an occupancy and flexibility standpoint, the setup supports an owner-occupant scenario where the second-floor unit remains leased, while the finished third-floor rooms can function as extended living or workspace. It may also appeal to buyers evaluating options for future reconfiguration, with buyers encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding permitted uses.
