Overview

Set on an extra-wide 37-foot lot in Lakeview's coveted Newport Avenue Historic District, 938 W Newport is a rare and architecturally significant Greystone offering classic Chicago charm, preserved character, and strong rental income with ideal owner-occupant potential. This stately 3-flat features original millwork, pocket doors, large bay windows, and sun-filled upper units with 10-foot ceilings. The garden-level unit is a spacious 1 bed, 1 bath with additional storage in the entry foyer and a separate storage closet. The main-level unit includes 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 fireplaces a bay-front living room, a large formal dining room, and a bright rear sunroom ideal as an office or flex space. The top-floor unit mirrors the main-level layout and was previously configured as a 3-bedroom. It now functions as a 2 bedroom, 2 bath plus den with a closet, and is vacant and move-in ready with refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, and fresh paint. A three-car garage plus a side parking pad provide four off-street spaces. The exterior pad has been successfully rented during Cubs home games for extra income. Tenants share access to the basement laundry and storage. Just steps from Wrigley Field, the Red Line, Whole Foods, the lakefront, neighborhood dining and shopping, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chicago history with flexible use, timeless curb appeal, and lasting value.
