Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This extra-large Mayfair three-flat offers three units in pristine condition, built in 1909 with a red brick exterior and well-preserved woodwork. The property includes a two-floor owner’s suite with a private rooftop deck and dedicated spaces for storage, with direct access via a rear stairwell and a spiral staircase from the bedroom below.

All three units are equipped with dishwashers and central air, along with dedicated laundry downstairs. The top-floor suite also includes in-unit laundry in the upstairs bathroom. The elevated first-floor unit features original woodwork and hardwood floors, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, plus an all stainless steel kitchen. The garden unit has its own private entrance and is positioned to function as either a business or residential unit.

The owners changed zoning to “mixed-use.” Outdoor features include a fenced yard and an extra-tall 2-car garage off an extra-wide alley. Updates include windows, kitchens, and baths, and the home is served by public water and public sewer with natural gas heating.

Convenient transit and commuting access includes Metra service, Foster & Lawrence buses, and proximity to 90/94.
