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 s
