About this home
"* BACK ON THE MARKET - Buyer financing issue. Great opportunity for the next buyer! *" Welcome to 1224 Landon Ave, a classic ranch-style home offering endless potential in the heart of Winthrop Harbor. This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom handyman special is a perfect opportunity for investors, flippers, or DIY buyers looking to transform a solid property into something truly special. Though the home is not move-in ready and requires cosmetic repairs and updates, it already features newer windows that bring in abundant natural light and provide a head start on your renovation project. The main floor features a traditional layout, including a sunlit living room, a functional kitchen with space to redesign and modernize, and three spacious bedrooms-all ready for a personal touch. The full bathroom is conveniently located and waiting to be updated to your taste. Whether you want to keep the current floor plan or open up the layout for a more modern flow, the structure gives you room to create something unique and valuable. The unfinished basement offers even more possibilities, featuring ground-level windows that allow for ample sunlight-ideal for converting the space into a large family room, additional bedroom, home gym, or in-law suite. The ceiling height and natural light give it the feel of a true extension of the home, not just a basement, making it a highly desirable asset for those looking to expand their living space or rental potential. Step outside to the huge backyard, a standout feature of this property. With plenty of open green space, this yard invites ideas for outdoor entertaining, a future patio, fire pit, garden, or even the addition of a garage or shed. It's a rare find in this price range and adds to the property's long-term value and livability. Set in a peaceful neighborhood just minutes from Lake Michigan, North Point Marina, and Illinois Beach State Park, the location offers a perfect balance of nature and convenience. You're close to local parks, schools, shopping, dining, and just a short drive to the Winthrop Harbor Metra station, providing easy access to downtown Chicago. The area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, commuters, and anyone looking for a welcoming community with small-town charm and proximity to the lake. Whether you're looking to build equity through renovations, invest in a promising rental property, or create your dream home from the ground up, 1224 Landon Ave is a diamond in the rough ready to be polished. Bring your vision, tools, and creativity-this property is priced to sell and full of possibilities!
