    Overview

    You don’t come across something like this every day. Looking for something you won’t find on every block? This old schoolhouse is almost complete through a full transformation into three distinct living spaces—and it’s waiting for its next owner with a vision to finish the job. The heavy lifting is done: it’s been stripped to the studs, rebuilt, and capped with a new roof. Two apartments are move-in ready, and the third—a huge upstairs unit—just needs the final touches. New $50k+ Septic Tank & Plumbing Installed. Location of Property 350 County Line Rd, Lee, IL 60530. Rental demand in this area is strong, and multi-unit options are limited. This pocket of Lee is starved for multi-unit rentals, and demand is super steady. Lee straddles DeKalb and Lee counties, with only 313 residents as of 2020. You’re close to Rochelle, Dekalb, and a quick 10-minute drive to Shabbona Lake State Park. Property & Unit Breakdown Unit-1 (Ready to Go) A 1,100 sq ft apartment with one bedroom, a generous living/dining space, kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, and a roomy bedroom. Brand new furnace and water heater, plus separate gas and electric meters. New Carpet hasn’t been installed yet. Unit-2 (Ready to Go) A 1,200 sq ft apartment offering one bedroom, a den, kitchen, family/living room, dining area, laundry room, and bath. This unit has a Brand-New Gas Stove, Refrigerator, Washer & Dryer. Like Unit 1, it’s equipped with new mechanicals and dedicated utility meters. New Carpet hasn’t been installed yet. Unit-3 (Almost There) Upstairs you’ll find a massive 4,000+ square foot apartment with four bedrooms—including a master suite with its own sitting area and bath. About 80% finished—mostly needs some drywall and bathroom work to cross the finish line. Potential Fourth Unit: Turn Unit 3 into two separate apartments by adding a wall and a small kitchen, boosting your rental income even more. Gym & Extras The school gym is still intact—a full basketball court, bleachers, locker rooms, plus a basement and storm shelter. Electrical upgrades and ceiling repairs are underway, and it just needs a solid cleaning. Why This Deal Stands Out Properties like this—flexible, partially finished, and full of upside—rarely come up for sale. Strong rental demand in Lee, IL, and very few multi-unit options make this a compelling play, whether you’re looking for cash flow or a live/work setup. What’s Left to Tackle? The upstairs apartment needs drywall in the living room, dining, and master bedroom/sitting areas, along with the master bath needs to be finished. You could refinish the original hardwood floors or lay new carpet. Zoning Multi-Tenant Residential Zoning—so you can rent or occupy multiple units as you see fit.
