Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Located at 4541 S Forrestville Avenue in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood, this historic mansion has been reconfigured as four large apartments, with each residence occupying nearly a full floor. The 2025 renovation retained stained and leaded glass, detailed woodwork, hardwood flooring, pocket doors, fireplaces, built-ins, and original doors while adding new plumbing, insulation, upgraded electrical service, separate meters, water heaters, and individual HVAC/mini-split systems. Apartment interiors include large bedrooms, in-unit laundry, private storage, custom kitchens, and updated bathrooms with walk-in showers, marble floors, clawfoot tubs, and custom vanities.

Outdoor features include a front porch, private rear decks, a side yard, and a shared courtyard patio. A brick coach house includes three garage parking spaces on the main level; its upper floor was previously configured as living space and may support a fifth residential unit, guest suite, studio, office, or other income-producing use, subject to verification and required approvals. The property sits on a double-wide lot along a residential street surrounded primarily by single-family homes.

Key Highlights

  • Four oversized apartments, each occupying nearly an entire floor
  • 2025 renovation with restored historic details and updated building systems
  • Upgraded 400‑amp electrical service with separate meters
