Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Originally constructed in 1881, this historic Potter Palmer Greystone is situated on a rare 23.5-foot-wide lot and spans six levels with over 7,000 square feet. The building is currently configured as four income-producing apartments, with a rare four-car tandem garage created from the former fifth apartment and the original one-car garage. Interiors feature soaring 10+ foot ceilings, original millwork, stained glass, hardwood floors, carved oak mantels, and marble fireplaces. The property has been lovingly maintained and includes updates such as windows, electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, and the roof.

The current rental lineup offers distinct unit layouts and expiration dates: a ground-level studio with a fireplace generating $2,000 per month (lease expires 4/30/27); a generously sized bi-level 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence with four fireplaces, formal dining, a jacuzzi tub, steam shower, and a private deck generating $5,500 per month (lease expires 4/30/27); a 1-bedroom apartment with a fireplace generating $2,500 per month (lease expires 10/31/26); and a large bi-level 3-bedroom residence with three fireplaces, a balcony, jacuzzi tub, steam shower, and a rooftop deck generating $6,200 per month (lease expires 7/31/26). Zoned MULTI and located in Chicago’s Gold Coast, the address places residents just steps from the lakefront, Oak Street Beach, the Magnificent Mile, and Oak Street shopping and dining.

This property is well suited for investors seeking a well-maintained income stream in a landmark setting, with thoughtfully updated building systems. It also presents a compelling opportunity for an owner-occupant or developer interested in reimagining the building as a boutique luxury residence or restoring it as a single-family mansion.
