Turnkey Brick Duplex | Fully Rented | Immediate Cash Flow Opportunity
495-499 Franklin Blvd.
For Sale
$494,900
Well-maintained, fully rented brick duplex offering immediate cash flow and true turnkey ownership. Both mirror-image 3 bed/1 bath units are currently leased and generating a combined $4,145 per month in rental income. Unlike many area 2-units, this property was purpose-built as a duplex with separate utilities for each tenant, including separately metered gas, electric and water, plus separate HVAC systems and central air for each side — creating a clean, efficient investment structure with minimal owner expense.
Recent updates include a brand new roof (2025) and new washers and dryers in both units. Each unit features a spacious living/dining combination, eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry and counter space, full laundry area, attached 1-car garage, and private storage areas with divided crawlspaces and attics. Fully fenced backyard.
Low-maintenance ownership with the owner currently responsible only for lawn care and snow removal at approximately $65/month. Property taxes are $6,852. Conveniently located near downtown, the Rec Center, Library, Metra and I-90.
Whether you're looking to expand your portfolio or secure a strong income-producing asset, this is the kind of property investors look for — updated, occupied and producing from day one.
