Property Description
Bring your vision and creativity to 1513 N 32nd Ave, a spacious two-unit property offering approximately 2,173 square feet, 5 total bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and tremendous potential for the buyer ready to make it their own. This handyman special presents a unique opportunity because of the flexibility it offers. Renovate and maintain the property as a two-unit residence, creating two separate living spaces, or explore the possibility of DE converting the building into a generous single-family home designed around your individual needs and lifestyle, subject to municipal requirements and approvals. With this amount of space and multiple possibilities for future use, the property provides an exciting canvas for an investor, contractor, rehabber, or buyer looking for a project where improvements can create meaningful long term value. The existing footprint offers plenty of room to rethink and personalize the interior. With five total bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is substantial space to work with whether the future plan is to preserve separate units or create one larger residence. A renovation could bring new life to the property while allowing the next owner to select the kitchen designs, bathrooms, flooring, finishes, colors, and overall style that best fit their vision. Rather than paying for someone else's choices, this is an opportunity to start with a property that has size, character, and potential, then complete it according to your own taste. For buyers who understand the possibilities of a renovation project, this is the type of property where imagination can make all the difference. The exterior offers the traditional character of an established Melrose Park residential neighborhood along with outdoor space that can become an extension of the home. There is potential to enhance the landscaping, improve the curb appeal, and create an enjoyable outdoor area for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or everyday use. The surrounding streets feature a variety of established homes and mature neighborhood surroundings, giving the property a comfortable residential setting while keeping everyday conveniences close by. Location adds another important dimension to this opportunity. Melrose Park provides excellent access to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, local businesses, parks, recreation, healthcare, and numerous services throughout the western suburbs. Nearby North Avenue and Mannheim Road provide convenient connections to surrounding communities including River Forest, Oak Park, Elmwood Park, Franklin Park, River Grove, and other western suburbs. The area also offers access to major transportation routes including I 290 and I 294, making travel toward downtown Chicago, O'Hare International Airport, and surrounding employment centers convenient. Metra service in the area provides another transportation option for commuting into Chicago and throughout the western suburbs. Nearby parks and recreational facilities provide green space, athletic fields, playgrounds, and community activities, while the area's established commercial corridors offer everything from neighborhood restaurants and local shops to larger retail destinations. Buyers will also appreciate the proximity to the Forest Preserves of Cook County and the Des Plaines River corridor, providing additional opportunities to enjoy nature and outdoor recreation. Whether your vision is to restore the property as a two unit residence, create future rental possibilities, or transform the entire building into one spacious single family home, 1513 N 32nd Ave offers the size, flexibility, location, and potential to make that vision possible. Bring your ideas, your contractor, and your creativity. The possibilities here are truly exciting for a buyer ready to unlock everything this Melrose Park property has to offer.
