1722 W BELLE PLAINE AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60613

Overview

This 1965-built, 2-story masonry single-family home is located in Lake View's Ward 47 and sits on a 2,637 square foot lot in Chicago's Ravenswood elementary school district. The 1,464 square foot building contains 3 bedrooms, 5 rooms total, and 1.5 bathrooms with a full unfinished basement and warm air furnace heating but no central air conditioning or garage. The 2026 assessed value is $51,000 (land $26,238 + building $24,762), implying approximately $510,000 market value under Cook County's 10% assessment ratio for residential properties. Notably, a permit for new construction was issued May 27, 2026, authorizing a 4,064 square foot, 2-story single-family residential building with covered front porch, rear wood deck, and roof deck at a reported construction cost of $1,300,000—indicating a likely teardown and rebuild in progress. No building code violations have been recorded for this property per City of Chicago datasets. The significant discrepancy between the current 1,464 sqft and new permitted 4,064 sqft suggests substantial redevelopment of the site.
