1454 W Hood

$ 579,900

Fresh for 2012, this Edgewater Glen 1911 home is a terrific buy!

It’s currently a 3 bedroom 2 bath home, and it’s very liveable as it is, yet there are options for increasing the # of bedrooms and baths very easily. The home sits on a 30′ wide lot, and there is a tall attic with plumbing stubbed in  – terrific space for a master suite!  The basement is large and clean – it could be used as a play room or finished out as needed.

The home has been fully rehabbed, and it’s in mint condition – just what today’s buyers are looking for!! Pictures are available at this link, but don’t be fooled – it’s staged so well that the photos don’t do it justice – you need to see it in person.

It’s not my listing – I’m just reporting that I think it’s a good buy for someone interested in historic Chicago homes in Edgewater – Chicago’s north side.

If you are interested in finding out about home sales in  your area, please email Anne, who can either send a CMA via email or meet with you to discuss your home’s value.

We all love vintage homes, but would you choose bare bones decorating or stylized period wallpaper and furnishings?

The gorgeous home at 1048 W Oakdale was listed for sale at $ 3,900,000 in 2008 – it returned to  the market in June, starting at $ 2,750,000 and reduced today to$ 2,575,000.

Most would agree it’s a stunningly beautiful home, but would you buy a home that’s so specifically decorated?

Which do you prefer — decorated or undecorated?
