Welcome to 1224 Landon Ave, a classic ranch-style home offering endless potential in the heart of Winthrop Harbor. This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom handyman special is a perfect opportunity for investors, flippers, or DIY buyers looking to transform a solid property into something truly special. Though the home is not move-in ready and requires cosmetic repairs and updates, it already features newer windows that bring in abundant natural light and provide a head start on your renovation project. The main floor features a traditional layout, including a sunlit living room, a functional kitchen with space to redesign and modernize, and three spacious bedrooms-all ready for a personal touch. The full bathroom is conveniently located and waiting to be updated to your taste. Whether you want to keep the current floor plan or open up the layout for a more modern flow, the structure gives you room to create something unique and valuable. The unfinished basement offers even more possibilities, featuring ground-level windows that allow for ample sunlight-ideal for converting the space into a large family room, additional bedroom, home gym, or in-law suite. The ceiling height and natural light give it the feel of a true extension of the home, not just a basement, making it a highly desirable asset for those looking to expand their living space or rental potential.

With plenty of open green space, this yard invites ideas for outdoor entertaining, a future patio, fire pit, garden, or even the addition of a garage or shed.
