Spacious & Updated: 5-Bedroom Home with Rental Potential in Zion

What makes 2409 Gilboa Ave one of the most flexible homes for sale in Zion right now?

This two-story, 5-bedroom home offers over 2,100 square feet of updated living space, a move-in-ready layout, and a unique in-law suite — creating built-in rental or multi-generational living potential.

Live in One, Rent the Other — Or Keep It All to Yourself

If you've been searching for homes for sale in Zion that offer both space and versatility, 2409 Gilboa Ave deserves your attention. The home is thoughtfully set up with two distinct living areas:

• Main unit: 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, full kitchen, and generous common spaces across two floors
• In-law suite: Separate entrance, private kitchen, full bath, spacious bedroom, and living area

Whether you're looking to offset your mortgage with rental income, need a private space for extended family, or just want the option to spread out — this layout adapts to your needs.

Recent Upgrades Mean Fewer Surprises

Older homes can sometimes mean hidden projects — but not here. Recent updates make this a turnkey option:

• New roof (2022)
• New boiler (2025)
• Fresh paint and new flooring throughout

It’s all been done for you, creating peace of mind from the day you move in. And with radiant heat and separate utility meters for the in-law suite, you’ll have practical, efficient systems in place.

What You’ll Love About This Property

• Room to grow: With 5 bedrooms and over 2,100 square feet, you’ll have space for family, hobbies, guests, or even a home office (or two).
• Large lot: Situated on a quarter acre, there’s space to garden, play, or relax outdoors.
• Off-street parking: Includes a private driveway with room for two vehicles — no need to battle for street spots.
• Income opportunity: With a ready-to-go separate unit, you have the chance to bring in rental income right away (check local zoning for details).

Questions You Might Be Asking

• Is the in-law suite legal to rent?
  It’s separately metered and has a private entrance, and is allowed by the City of Zion
• Is the layout still functional for a single-family household?
  Yes — you can use the entire home as one large residence if rental income isn’t your goal.

The Bottom Line

Whether you’re an investor, a growing household, or someone looking for extra flexibility, this home offers rare value for its size and setup — especially under $300K in Zion.

If 2409 Gilboa Ave sounds like it could be the right fit for you, don’t wait.
