Chicago Real Estate | 1600 N Maplewood Has Been Listed by Lake Effect Real Estate

March 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Chicago-based Lake Effect Real Estate has just listed 1600 N Maplewood Ave in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood. This property is a mixed-use building with a commercial storefront and two residential units.

This unique, corner property offers opportunity for both investors and owner-occupants. The building has an attached four-car garage with easy access off of Maplewood Avenue. The storefront space, at approximately 1,000 square feet, is currently leased but can easily be built out to suit a potential tenant by a new owner. The second floor, one-bedroom rental unit is currently leased by a long-time tenant and is leased with one parking space. The owner's unit, duplexed from the second floor and encompassing the entire third floor, features a garage rooftop deck with a professionally landscaped garden. With two full baths and the outdoor space, this unit is perfect for entertaining and for guests. There is also the potential to create the ultimate owner's unit by building down into the second floor rental unit. Owner-occupied for over 20 years, this property has been extremely well-maintained.

The Humboldt Park community is one of the 77 defined community areas within the City of Chicago and is part of the West Town area. The neighborhood includes a 207 acre park with the same moniker. The park was named for German naturalist and geographer Alexander von Humboldt. This park, and other West Town parks, were created to provide beauty and were linked together by Chicago’s historic boulevard system. The area is a mix of different types of housing stock, including large, historic graystone homes surrounding the park. Settled between Chicago Avenue on the south and Armitage on the north, Humboldt Park is home to the only officially recognized Puerto Rican community in the nation. Within Humboldt Park there are many locally-owned stores, restaurants, and bars, including the Puerto Rican Paseo Boricua strip on Division Street.
