True "Gold Coast Style" Elegance in Bronzeville
Posted by Roz Bryant under For Buyers, Listings, Bronzeville
This one is truly a find. (I know we say that a lot in real estate, but this time it’s worth your pause
)
Located in one of Chicago’s most desirable up-and-coming south-side neighborhoods, 3228 S. Prairie Avenue is one-of-a-kind. This historic home was built in 1888 for the co-founder of Libby Foods, so it has a greystone facade and lofty ceiling heights more common in that day.
The current owners have spared no expense in completely renovating the home to fit today’s lifestyle while respecting the property’s historic past.
The new owner will enjoy three full floors of luxuriously- and artfully-appointed rooms. And more. At 3,800 square feet, a home with these finishes could easily cost three times as much if it were in the Gold Coast. Not to mention a property tax bill ten times higher. The kitchen is outfitted with commercial grade stainless steel appliances, and 42-inch cabinets. The entry foyer features marble flooring and a custom hardwood staircase with iron railings.![]()
All this in Bronzeville’s northern enclave, The Gap. Ten minutes to the Loop and close to the lakefront. Contact me for more information on this fine Chicago home. Email me here or call me at 312-264-5801.
