Maryland, a 12-unit brick walk-up building located in Chicago’s East Chatham neighborhood. The property features a well-balanced unit mix of six (6) one-bedroom / one-bath apartments and six (6) two-bedroom / one-bath apartments, catering to strong and consistent tenant demand in the submarket. The building has undergone significant recent capital improvements, positioning it as a turnkey investment opportunity with meaningful rental upside. Major upgrades include the installation of brand-new Mitsubishi heating and air conditioning mini-split systems in all units (completed in 2025), providing tenants with modern, energy-efficient climate control. Hot water is supplied by two (2) newly installed Rheem Performance 75-gallon natural gas water heaters (150 gallons total), each backed by a 6-year warranty. The roof was replaced approximately six years ago, further reducing near-term capital expenditure concerns. Additional building enhancements include individual electrical panels and a full perimeter security camera system, both newly installed in 2025, improving operational efficiency, safety, and long-term asset performance. This well-maintained East Chatham asset offers investors the opportunity to acquire a stabilized, low-maintenance property with organic rent growth potential. With modern mechanical systems already in place and strong neighborhood fundamentals, ownership can continue to push rents while benefiting from a clean, turnkey operation and long-term hold stability.
