3261 N Central Park Avenue Chicago, IL 60618

This gut-rehabbed two-unit building sits on an incredible extra-wide 33x125 lot in the heart of Avondale, just a 9-minute walk to the Belmont Blue Line stop and steps from endless neighborhood favorites. The property offers a beautiful 3 bed/2 bath owner's duplex-up home with a well appointed 2 bed/1 bath rental unit below. The charming front porch spans the width of the home and looks down School St, a tree-canopied side street. On the main level of the duplex, you'll find a practical layout featuring a large living room with great windows, a single-family-style kitchen with quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry and storage space, stainless steel appliances, designer fixtures and hardware, and a large eat-in island. The dining area sits just off the kitchen, connecting the living space to the oversized rear deck, creating wonderful indoor-outdoor flow that is perfect for hosting. There are two bedrooms with ample closets and large windows, as well as a full bathroom on the main level. The top level offers a gracious primary suite with a walk-in closet and a nicely finished bathroom featuring a dual vanity and large shower. A laundry room is conveniently located just off the primary bedroom, along with a den space ideal for a home office or sitting area. The lower-level rental unit was previously a successful Airbnb but is currently leased furnished to a long-term tenant. This unit will be conveyed fully furnished with the tenant in place, presenting an excellent opportunity for the new owner to seamlessly return to a fully setup Airbnb in the future or continue with attractive long-term furnished leases. The lower level offers high ceilings, large windows with great natural light, two bedrooms with ample storage, a well-appointed bathroom, a spacious living area, and a charming eat-in kitchen. It also features its own laundry/storage room. The yard around the entire property is beautifully landscaped, offering an excellent mix of low-maintenance bedrock and plants, as well as abundant green space. The overwide (33') lot truly feels different than the standard Chicago yard, allowing for more space between neighboring buildings, which improves interior privacy and natural light. There's also a two-car garage, currently used by the owners, that can easily accommodate a third exterior parking spot or additional entertaining area next to it. This home was completely gutted to the studs and fully redone in 2023, including a new roof, Hardieboard facade, vinyl siding, decks, furnaces, A/C units, water heaters, 200-amp electrical service, and brand-new plumbing, electrical systems, windows, doors, and drywall. Located at the intersection of everything that makes Avondale one of Chicago's hottest neighborhoods, it is near countless community hotspots, including WonderPlay and Coffee, Sleeping Village, Avondale Tap, Tune-Up, Alice's, Magnifico Coffee, Chicago Strength, Central Park Bar, Mother's Ruin, Void, Avondale Park, and so much more!
