1702 S Desplaines St., Chicago, IL 60616

A piece of Chicago history transformed for modern family living! As the Great Fire of 1871 ravaged the city, this house escaped the flames and today nestles on a tree-lined residential street in red-hot Pilsen. The main floor is a large, functional living/family room space, with a wood-burning fireplace at its heart. In the light-filled kitchen, an abundance of counter space and cabinetry surround you. French doors open onto deck and garden that are a gardener's delight with raised vegetable beds and grapevines. Built prior to raising the street level, the lower level serves as the master bedroom and features huge walk-in closet and french doors that open onto an intricate period stonework patio. The four bedrooms are well proportioned with ample storage space and lots of natural light. Exterior is clad in maintenance-free concrete board. Location is ideal, minutes to the South Loop and downtown and just a few blocks from restaurants, art galleries, and grocery stores.
