Description

Classic Chicago 1890 Frame Worker's Cottage 2-Flat in Northeast Humboldt Park - First Time on the Market in 37 Years. A rare opportunity for rehabbers and restoration-minded investors to bring new life to a classic Chicago property in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods. Owned by the same family for 37 years, this vintage 2-flat offers tremendous upside for those looking to undertake a substantial renovation and create significant value. Situated on a 25' x 125' RS-3 zoned lot, the property retains the charm and character of Chicago's historic worker's cottages and presents a blank canvas for a complete gut rehab, reconfiguration, owner-occupant conversion, or long-term investment project. The structure requires extensive renovation and is being offered to buyers with the vision and expertise to restore its full potential. The location is exceptional-at the crossroads of Bucktown, Wicker Park, Humboldt Park, and Logan Square. Just steps from the Bloomingdale 606 Trail, the Western Blue Line CTA station with direct access to O'Hare and downtown, commuter rail options, and convenient access to I-90. Enjoy immediate proximity to some of Chicago's best restaurants, cafes, nightlife, parks, and neighborhood amenities. Opportunities to acquire and reimagine a property in this premier location are increasingly rare. Opportunities to restore and modernize an original Chicago worker's cottage 2-flat in this location are increasingly rare."-this is your chance to transform a classic Chicago building into something truly special.
