Welcome to this beautifully renovated home in the heart of Lakeview, currently being utilized as a single-family home but is a legal 2-unit building. Located in the top-rated Burley school district, this versatile property offers the flexibility to be converted into a single-family residence or maintained as two distinct units. The owner's duplex-up unit is stunning, featuring 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The lower level is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath space, capable of generating approximately $2, 000+ per month ($24, 000 annually) in gross rental income or use as additional living space like the current owners do. Renovated in 2002, this home combines modern amenities with timeless appeal. The main level offers a spacious living room with a built-in mudroom area and coat closet. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, a built-in banquette seating area, and a fantastic deck off the kitchen overlooking the amazing backyard. A bedroom and full bath complete this main level. The top floor features a primary suite with vaulted ceilings and a classically designed primary bath with white marble tile and a double vanity. Additionally, there is another bedroom, a full bath, and a convenient stackable washer/dryer on this level. The lower-level features 2 additional bedrooms (perfect for guests/nanny/in-law/ office/ or workout room), a full bath, living room, kitchen and another washer/dryer. The outdoor space is a gardener's delight, featuring a backyard filled with perennials and a 2-car garage providing ample storage and convenience. Whether you're looking to convert this property into a single-family home or maintain its current configuration, this Lakeview gem offers endless possibilities for comfortable living and smart investment. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods.
