Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This well-maintained two-unit brick building features expansive layouts and soaring ceilings. Each unit includes three spacious bedrooms and one full bathroom. The upper unit offers an oversized layout with generous bedroom sizes due to an extended stairwell. Both units are designed for functionality and comfort. The lower unit has a history of successful short-term rentals, generating approximately $24,000 annually while being utilized only 50% of the year. Recent improvements include the addition of in-unit laundry in both residences and a fully cleared basement, which provides a strong foundation for a potential future garden unit. Both units feature re-stained hardwood floors, with kitchens and bathrooms in superb condition and move-in ready. The property is suitable for an owner-occupant seeking rental income or as a full investment opportunity. The area is poised for continued appreciation, supported by significant nearby development, including multi-billion-dollar investments such as the Obama Presidential Library in adjacent Woodlawn.
