Description

Ready for a bit of Paris? Or Vienna? Located on fabled Elm Street, this impeccably maintained rowhouse is one of the Gold Coast's best opportunities. Last renovated and decorated in the 1980's, the house maintains so much of its original charm w/high ceilings, intricate millwork, original doors, and wonderful detailing throughout. There's a lot to love here: a beautiful staircase, a large private garden/yard, 5 original fireplaces, great light, and rooms w/bays highlighting the splendid architecture. Newer windows, central air/heat, updated electric. Ideal location steps from the lake, restaurants and cafes, and boutiques. Bring your architect or designer to personalize this historic gem.

    "Sometimes crowded on the 151 bus, but they’re pretty frequent. I would leave some extra time. The red line also is super crowded at the clark/division in the morning so leave some extra time. Always better to have more time than not enough when trying to commute from this part of town"
