Property Description

Welcome to West Chicago - the first Illinois community to be established by the railroads. Listed as a "Top 20 Suburb" in 2024, West Chicago offers easy Metra access to downtown, a tight-knit community, 13 community parks, the highly rated Turtle Splash Water Park and public schools that consistently perform above state averages. This is a community known for its friendly atmosphere, local traditions, and small-town charm. Tucked right in the heart of this wonderful town, within walking distance to the train, West Chicago High School and local shops and restaurants; sits this charming farmhouse-style 2-flat home. Set upon a large corner lot, this property tells a story you can feel the moment you arrive. Lovingly owned and cared for by the same local family for decades, the home carries with it a sense of continuity, pride, and warmth that's increasingly rare to find. From its inviting exterior to its thoughtfully maintained interiors, this is a property that has truly been lived in and loved. Each unit offers its own comfortable living space, full of natural light and classic farmhouse character-think welcoming porches, generous room sizes, and a layout that balances openness with a sense of homey intimacy. Whether you're drawn to the timeless details or the solid craftsmanship, there's a reassuring authenticity here that newer properties often lack. For investors, this 2-flat presents a compelling opportunity. With two separate units, it's well-suited for generating steady rental income, whether you choose long-term tenants or explore multi-generational leasing options. The established neighborhood and strong sense of community make it an appealing place for renters who want more than just a place to live. For families, the possibilities are just as varied. Live in one unit and rent out the other to help offset your mortgage, or create a shared living arrangement for extended family-parents, adult children, or relatives who want to stay close while maintaining their own space. It's a flexible setup that adapts to real life, offering both togetherness and independence under one roof. Perhaps most importantly, this home is more than just a building-it's a continuation of a legacy. Whether you're looking to invest wisely or put down roots in a place with heart, this farmhouse 2-flat offers a rare chance to do both. This is an incredibly special home in a wonderful and convenient area of West Chicago. As it currently stands this property features two separate addresses (350 & 352 Harrison) but is zoned as a single-family residence (R-3) and can be converted back to one if desired. It's truly the best of both worlds - a home with the feel of a single-family and the versatility of a 2-flat. The "main" home features 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 full bathrooms, in-unit laundry, a beautiful kitchen and generously sized living and dining spaces. The enclosed front porch is an added bonus, the perfect place to spend long summer days and cool autumn nights. The second unit feels equally spacious and features 1 bedroom and 1.5 baths with its own in-unit laundry, large kitchen and spacious living and dining areas. The two units share an inviting enclosed back porch/entryway, a huge yard, plenty of parking and a one-car garage.
