About This Property
Attention Savvy Investors and Developers!
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a legal three-family home on a spacious 8,000 sq ft lot zoned R4-1, complete with a private driveway and tremendous upside potential.
The existing building features three well-laid-out apartments:
First Floor Duplex (with semi-finished basement): 4 bedrooms, living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, 2 bathrooms, front yard, and rear porch — approximately 1,700 sq ft.
Second Floor: 1-bedroom apartment with kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and a charming screened-in balcony — approximately 900 sq ft.
Top Floor: Cozy 1-bedroom apartment with living room and dining room — approximately 800 sq ft.
The property includes one heating system (gas boiler and hot water heater) serving the entire building. The private driveway comfortably fits 6 vehicles, plus there’s a detached double-car garage.
For developers, approved conceptual designs are available to build three new two-family homes, each with a detached garage — offering a maximum total buildable area of approximately 7,965 sq ft under current zoning.
This is a massive opportunity for any builder or investment team looking to capitalize on strong rental demand or redevelopment potential in a prime location.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Keller Williams Realty Empire.
A screened-in balcony sits off the second floor apartment in this three-family home on 72nd Street. The listing gives the private outdoor space as under 60 square feet, so it's a place to step out to rather than a yard, and a balcony gives direct access from the unit. Its depth and privacy are worth judging in person.
The first floor duplex has the most outdoor room in the building. It has a front yard and a rear porch, and it spans about 1,700 square feet with four bedrooms, a living room, a dining room and an eat-in kitchen. A top-floor apartment may appeal to anyone who wants no neighbors overhead, and this one has a living room and dining room in about 800 square feet.
The property has one gas boiler and hot water heater serving the whole building, so the three apartments share one heating system. Parking is practical here: a private driveway fits six vehicles, and there's a detached double-car garage. The listing also includes a garden among its amenities.
McKinley Park is about 3 minutes away on foot, with Leif Ericson Park about 7 minutes and Quaker Parrot Park at the Dust Bowl about 10. For everyday errands, HL Supermarket is about 6 minutes on foot, and Marcela Cocina Mexicana and Maria Pizzeria are each about 2 minutes away.
