    Investor | Builder Opportunity in Prime Des Plaines Location! Attention investors, rehabbers, and builders: this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. Situated on an expansive 103 x 180 lot (approx. 0.41 acres) in a highly desirable Des Plaines neighborhood, this property offers incredible potential for renovation, redevelopment, or new construction. The existing home features 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and over 2,100 square feet of living space, making it ideal for a full rehab project or rental hold. The property is being sold AS-IS. Unique architectural details such as birch plank-and-beam ceilings and a custom staircase add character and potential value. The oversized lot presents a rare opportunity for builders, with potential to tear down and build new, or explore redevelopment options (buyer to verify zoning and subdivision possibilities). Located in a sought-after area of Des Plaines known for its convenient access to O'Hare Airport, major expressways, strong local economy, and highly rated schools, this property is perfectly positioned for both resale and long-term investment. Sold AS-IS. Cash or renovation loans preferred.
