About This Home

Rare opportunity to own an updated and exceptionally versatile brick 2-flat in a prime Skokie location. Whether you're an investor seeking strong cash flow potential or a savvy owner-occupant looking to house hack (live in one unit and rent out the other), this property offers flexibility, income potential, and major capital improvements already completed. Each of the two main units features 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, spacious living areas, hardwood flooring throughout, and modern kitchens and baths. The kitchens are highlighted by stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, and granite countertops. Attached to each unit are enclosed porches which could be used for extra storage space or an office/den. Since purchasing the property in 2021, the current owner has continued to improve the building with significant upgrades, including a water heater replacement (2022), new roof (2024), new siding (2024), newer A/C unit (2024), and more! The basement, non-conforming unit offers additional finished living space with a separate entrance, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area, presenting outstanding flexibility for extended family, guests, home office use, storage, or potential future income opportunities. Additional features include separate utilities for the two main units, coin-operated laundry, flood control system/sump pump, detached 2-car garage, and an additional exterior parking space. Conveniently located near Downtown Skokie (shopping, restaurants, bars, etc), parks, I-94, and public transportation (buses and CTA yellow line).
