Prime corner retail/commercial building on busy Elston Avenue offering outstanding visibility, heavy traffic counts, and easy access to I-90/94, O'Hare, and Downtown Chicago. Previously operated as a daycare, the property provides flexible space that can be configured into two units, each with open layouts, private entrances, and restrooms; the larger unit includes two restrooms (one private and one public with stalls) plus a kitchenette, while the smaller unit features a private office and restroom. Notable building features include 10-foot ceilings, a rubber roof, 120 AMP / 240 V electrical service, separate gas and electric meters, furnaces, and hot water heaters, along with a private backyard currently designed as a playground and three dedicated parking spaces. Just a few blocks northwest are the major intersections of Milwaukee & Elston and Milwaukee & Devon, both major hubs for restaurants, auto care centers, salons, well-known franchises, retail businesses, and gas stations. Surrounded by dense residential neighborhoods and formerly recognized as a convenient daycare location, the property is well-suited for daycare, medical, office, retail, or service-based uses and benefits from B3-1 zoning.
