Sold for $449,000, Lincoln Square frame two-flat to be converted to single family home

A small frame two-flat in Lincoln Square near Winnemac Park will become a newly renovated single family home.  2239 W Carmen was sold quickly last summer for $449,000 (MREDLLC.COM). The building sits on a wide 31' lot (desirable for new construction and gut rehab single family homes). The new owners will expand the home with second story and two-story rear additions according to building permits.
