Description

An extraordinary opportunity to revive a piece of Chicago's storied past. Nestled on two distinct Chicago lots, each with its own PIN, this historic 5-bedroom, 2-bath residence is thought to be among the oldest in the subdivision. The property also features a charming detached 2-car garage and presents boundless potential for renovation, expansion, or even redevelopment. Awaiting a complete transformation, this home is being sold strictly as-is. Utilities are accessible in the basement, and the electrical service and furnace were updated in 2016. Whether you are a discerning investor, a visionary developer, or a homeowner with a passion for history, this property is a canvas awaiting your dream. Bring your vision and craft a truly timeless masterpiece. Please be advised, the home is in a distressed state and has notable interior odors. We ask that all visitors take care during their visit.

    "I've lived in the neighborhood just over a year now, as I have walked through the neighborhood with my dog and driven through it. There is Barton Elementary school close by and the area seems pet friendly. 79th street is busy with a lot of negative activity the further east you go. However the further west you go becomes more peaceful and family oriented. There are several new shopping options like Walmart, Dollar Tree and Aldi that have opened on 76th and Ashland. The community has both homes and rental apts available, however there seems to be an uptick in rehabbed home sales that are causing the home values to significantly increase to 200k plus, several have listed for 300k that were complete rehabbed homes. The good news is younger families are moving in purchasing the rehabbed homes, and many long term residents have lived in their homes 30 plus years. Most of the blocks are quiet, you dont see gangs on the corners, nor do you see drug dealing or prostitution. the area has a city of chicago incentive zone, so many police, teachers, fireman and other city "
