How often do you stumble across a genuine Chicago 2-flat that's stayed in the same family for over 80 years? Not often. This vintage brick beauty on a quiet, tree-lined street in Belmont-Cragin is one of those rare finds, and honestly, the pride of ownership shines through every corner. Here's the layout: two stories, one apartment on each floor, with two bedrooms and a full bathroom per unit. That's four bedrooms and two bathrooms total, giving you serious flexibility. Live in one unit and rent the other to help cover the mortgage, or lease both for steady rental income. Renovate one apartment at a time while collecting from the other. The choice is yours. Now let's talk character, because this place has it in spades. Original wood runs throughout, from the rich crown molding to the classic picture rail trim. The built-in buffet and additional built-in cabinetry are the kind of craftsmanship you simply can't buy new anymore. It's a true Chicago masterpiece that straddles the line between apartment and home. Both units feature eat-in kitchens with walk-in pantries, plus large enclosed porches that add extra breathing room. The second floor even has its own balcony. The enormous attic is a blank canvas begging for expansion, and interior access from the first floor leads right down to the basement. Practical updates make it truly move-in ready: newer windows and roof, new water heaters, and a security system for peace of mind. Outside, you'll enjoy a yard and a concrete patio, perfect for summer barbecues or morning coffee. Location is a winner too. Charles A. Prosser Career Academy sits nearby, and just a stones throw is the prestigious Horizon Science Academy Belmont, with close proximity to Steinmetz College Prep HS. There are regular CTA buses scheduled nearby and you can easily take the Metra to Chicago. O'Hare Airport is a short 20 min drive. Grab your groceries at Tony's Fresh Market, then spend a lazy afternoon at the 57 acre Riis Park. Everything you need is close. Each unit measures 1121 sq ft and with the basement providing tons of storage and the much needed Laundry Room we are looking at over 3000 sq ft in total. Properties like this, packed with history and endless potential, don't come around often. Come see it before someone else claims this slice of Chicago charm as their own. Being sold as is. No repair requests.
