Turnkey 3-unit in Humboldt Park perfect for house-hacking or a savvy investor: the renovated garden 3BD/1BA rents for $1,700/mo via CHA, the 1st-floor 4BD/2BA (excellent condition) is a long-term CHA tenant at $2,281/mo, and the refreshed top-floor "penthouse" with a balcony is vacant and ready for an owner-occupant-let your tenants' $3,981/mo total income help offset your payment. At the current tax basis, well-qualified buyers may see PITI just under $4,000/mo (buyer to verify), making this building nearly pay for itself. Private on-site parking offers added revenue potential, and the coin- & card-operated laundry creates steady ancillary income. All this in a thriving location steps from the namesake 219-acre park and lagoon, close to the 606 Trail, California/Armitage dining, Division Street's cultural corridor, cafes, nightlife, and transit-surrounded by new construction and quality rehabs. A rare opportunity to live on the top floor, build equity, and enjoy one of Chicago's most exciting neighborhoods!
