Property Description

Ready for reinvention! Create the home of your dreams on Chicago's magical "Street of Forty Doors." This is one of the 40 London-style rowhouses built 125 yrs ago. It's included on the National Register of Historic Places & was the first City of Chicago Residential Landmark District. The elegant, understated facade of 3811 is beautifully preserved. The home's front bow has the original sheet-metal cornice, parapet and curved panes in the side windows. The double door entry with arched, full-length windows topped by a rectangular leaded-glass fanlight, are all original too. Inside, the home has the original floor plate with 4 bedrooms, 1 bath on second floor. GFA heat (2011), central AC (2015), water heater (2024) and we believe a newer tear-off roof. Home may qualify for federal and local tax and financial incentive programs for historic restoration. Located on the east side of the block, so adding a townhome style-garage and roof terrace may be possible. Estate. Sold "as is". Bring your ideas to create your dream home! And, discover the magic of Alta Vista Terrace!
