Exceptional opportunity in Chicago's historic Bronzeville neighborhood! Welcome to 4749 S Prairie Avenue, a beautifully renovated 3-unit property offering an impressive 11 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 3 half baths, with two spacious 4-bedroom/1.5-bath units and one 3-bedroom/1.5-bath unit. The property has undergone extensive renovations and capital improvements, creating a turnkey opportunity for an owner-occupant or investor. Each unit features an updated kitchen with granite countertops, new cabinetry, new stoves and refrigerators, along with refreshed interiors and new individual furnaces on each floor. Major improvements include a new roof in 2025, new porch in 2025, garage restoration in 2025, new front and rear windows, and extensive tuckpointing along the side of the building, gangway and parapet walls. Additional features include a 2-car garage, coin-operated laundry and a full unfinished basement with multiple entrances, windows and generous ceiling height, offering excellent additional value-add potential. Two units are currently vacant, providing tremendous flexibility for an owner-occupant or investor, while one unit is owner occupied.
